Summary
I have a proven track record working in Construction, Commissioning, Operational Maintenance, QA/QC, and start-up assistance.
My Experience is Instrumentation and Fire & Gas in the Pharmaceutical, Power Generation, Waste Management, Semiconductor, Oil & Gas Industry both onshore and offshore.
I enjoy a challenge and learning is always ongoing that's why I have completed a Masters Degree in Process Safety & Loss Prevention.
I have experience with a multicultural working environment were building team work is a very good strength for me.
I believe very much in the concept of bringing solutions for problems to the table and as you can see from my CV communication with Management is not unfamiliar.
