Skils
Most recently employed in the Instrumentation department as Observer with Marine Seismic company CGG. My experience is pretty wide ranging from Royal Naval Marine engineering mechanic, Product Quality Assurance with Raymarine, RNLI (Search and rescue coxswain), SAR Sea safety instructor at Safemar AS, through to my most recent role as Observer Operator on board Seismic Survey vessel Viking Vanquish.
I have a military background having served in the Royal Navy. I incorporate the values and work practices gained in the services into the seismic/offshore environment. I am punctual, hard working, fast learning and always endeavor to exceed expectations on any task performed. A quality I possess is the ability to forward think and act quickly, methodically and safely on work matters which greatly improves teamwork and promotes confidence in those that work alongside me.
