Professional Profile

RIG MANAGER

Offshore/Onshore Drilling Operations Business Management Emergency Management

Regard myself as reliable and well-grounded, safe but an efficient professional. I’ve found myself being repeatedly chosen to troubleshoot problematic units/situations or start-up models until safe and economically viable.

Broad oilfield experience characterized by increasingly advanced responsibility. Highly driven and focused on the implementation and management of operational objectives in line with the delivery of optimal performance.

Quick to familiarise with industry developments while demonstrating a logical and analytical approach to solving complex problems and issues. Passionate about continuously applying best practice methods to health and safety while implementing safe working methods. I am very good at talent spotting, subsequently nurturing and mentoring individuals into supervisory positions. I have excellent communication skills while working with professionals of various levels. Enjoy being part of, as well as managing, motivating and training, a successful and productive team, and thrives in highly pressurised and challenging working environments.

Having been a Senior Supervisor for nearly 15 years, which includes managing drill crews on Cyber-Base Drill-ships, ranging from mid-water through to ultra-Deep water. Semi-submersible floaters, Jack-ups and Land Rigs. Have drilled in many different international Areas, I feel I have the experience for any Superintendent or Supervisor’s positions.
