Engineer Mechanical

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

I have over ** years of experience in the offshore oil and gas industry. The majority of my time during that period has been spent with working on subsea equipment specifications, supervising the design engineering, manufacturing, construction, installation, operation and de-commissioning.

The position’s I have held included working as a project engineer, senior engineer, subsea engineer, and site representative both on and offshore. For the past fifteen years I have concentrated on work in the offshore oil and gas subsea hardware equipment sector, In particular production hardware (trees, manifolds etc), control systems, intervention, and work over equipment.
