About Dave Macdonald

International Logistics Professional Mobilising Land Seismic Operations Across East AfricaI am a highly skilled senior logistics professional with extensive experience in leading the mobilisation of large, complex land seismic survey operations in Europe, Africa and Asia. Detail orientated with solid planning capabilities, I am committed to delivering results within time and budget, and use MS Project software and advanced Excel knowledge to enable a clear report structure. I manage crew health and safety, maintain awareness of environmental risks, and plan effectively to ensure all operations are completed without incident.Passionate about the land seismic industry, I enjoy the challenge of coordinating large-scale operations in difficult and remote environments. During my career, I have established and developed a global network of contacts for sourcing the full array of land seismic equipment, including ground electronics, drilling, and vibrator machinery. My engineering background has been instrumental in enhancing my knowledge of technical equipment and I continue to learn as the industry evolves.Specialties: Land Seismic Mobilisation | International Logistics | Procurement | Seismic Operations Planning | Import / Export
