Experience
PERSONAL PROFILE AND SKILLS
My extensive experience within the field of corrosion control began in my youth where I worked as an applicator prior to entering Painting Supervision / QA Inspection. This has given me hands on experience which along with my technical inspection / supervisory skills enables me to achieve a high quality end result. I am well travelled having worked on marine & offshore new build and refurbishment projects worldwide. My previous employers note me as being trustworthy, enthusiastic, loyal and diligent. Furthermore my employer references will substantiate this
I have long-term experience working as part of an owner’s management supervision team in a Quality Inspector capacity. Supervising inspection workforce and ensuring that the execution of company policy and client / owners agreed specification, relevant standards, and codes of practice are adhered to. Working in close liaison with owner’s site team Inspectors, yard production/QA dept, class surveyors, Coating manufacture’s inspection team and other professional authorities. I am computer literate.
Professional approval certificates have been attained during my working career as a Supervisor permitting me to be accredited by several national and International organisations; NACE, ICORR, ERS, BGC / TWI.
A lengthy professional background has benefited me in gaining vast familiarity with many varied types of surface treatments and application of sophisticated coatings and linings during new-build construction and refurbishment projects. My past experience has provided me with valuable knowledge enabling me to identify and concentrate on specific areas that may cause coating failure in service if not addressed during the initial stage of the contract.
My previous employment has been of a project contract nature hence the many positions that are stated within my CV. I have always completed and fulfilled the conditions of all contractual obligations successfully and have been employed again by previous employers on several occasions.
