DEREK LUIZ BORBA SANTOS
After spending approximately six years in New Zealand to enhance my English proficiency, I acquired valuable skills that have significantly contributed to both my career and personal growth. Prior to my time in New Zealand, I earned a degree in Sanitary and Environmental Engineering from Brazil, Curitiba/PR. With four years of management experience, my expertise lies in environmental and health and safety projects. Additionally, I have gained one year and eleven months of experience in the Offshore sector, focusing on management and operational-tactical activities.
I have completed a Post-Degree in Health, Safety, and Environmental Compliance at Langara College, further broadening my knowledge and expertise in Occupational Health and Safety in Canada. I am enthusiastic about applying my diverse experience and skills in the field to contribute to creating a safe and healthy workplace environment.
