Working on Golar Gimi FLNG, firstly part of pre-ops team inspecting and commissioning in Singapore, started taking handover of systems, sailed to final destination in Senegal/Mauritania border and ready for introduction of gas for processing, each day learning more and working in the E&I team where we overcome challenges and now applying the maintenenace schedule to the daily work scope as an Instrument Technician.

Previously employed as an Instrument Technician on the Catcher FPSO, stand in as lead as required. Been on the project since Singapore construction phase, through hook up and now into full operations, it has been rewarding being part of a team dealing with challenges to get the FPSO to smooth operations and a success for the client.

Lead Instrument Technician with Bumi Armada, actively participating in design activities for the Kraken project that includes hazops, building CMMS , attending FAT's, review of all VDRL documentation and ensuring my previous experience helps to give the project a smooth operational phase, for myself it has been an excellent experience in the the "pre-ops" phase which i may have over looked in the past in relation to the work required to meet expected standards.

I was employed by WGPSN on the Buzzard platform in UK North Sea working as part of large maintenance team executing safety critical planned maintenance and fault finding as required. This position so far has benefited me due to the vast range of modern instrumentation on platform where I am underpinning my already gained knowledge.

Instrument Coach on the DWG platform in the Caspian Sea. The main objectives of this project is to advance through coaching and training the national technicians development and base skills whilst also acting as Lead Technician on the platform. This opportunity has given me the chance to show my skills to others through mentoring /coaching and also given me invaluable experience working overseas in a multinational and cultural environment. Daily activities include coaching and assessing in maintenance, fault finding and workshop simulation activities whilst preparing and over seeing platform work scopes.

Was employed by Petrofac on the GP3 FPSO as a Instrument Technician. I worked as part of a small team who carry out all the platform Instrument and Telecoms maintenance. The vessel was just out of refurbishment and I have been involved in carrying out the commissioning side of all new process/marine instrumentation and F+G systems whilst maintaining all the existing equipment. The SCADA system on GP3 is Silvertech which is a Fanuc PLC based system. Instruments worked on here vary greatly from Rosemount/Yokogawa transmitters, guided wave and ultrasonic level transmitters, ultrasonic flow measurement, ESDV’s of various types and designs, switches of various types and designs, here we integrate the Hart enabled equipment with the 375 communicator, the fire and gas system onboard is an Autronica system that carries out loop polling to the end of line devices. On the marine side the control system is Converteam (Alstom) and also a DP system which has input sensors which are maintained.

Whilst working with Exxon I was trained as an Instrumentation Technician, working with and learning from a large team who are responsible for plant maintenance. I have achieved my SVQ 3 in engineering maintenance, which has ranged from basic training to interrogating complex instrument and analyser systems. My training has covered many aspects of the job including fault finding and calibration of these instrument and analyser systems. Analyser experience ranged from GC’s, PH, Conductivity, moisture, Infra- Red gas analysers, laboratory work and various other gas analysers i.e. o2/nox and sox checks. Through my enthusiasm and progression I earned Esso’s Apprentice of the Year in 2005.
