I offer a significant track record of accomplishment in leading large, multi-skilled trade and engineering teams to safely execute maintenance, reliability and major turnaround activities and drive complex, specialised cost reduction projects within petrochemical and chemical manufacturing environments. I develop strategic plans and employ practical approaches to elevate plant reliability, achieve KPIs and enhance commercial performance. Employing highly developed budgetary and risk management skills combined with robust governance expertise, I diligently oversee all site maintenance requirements, identify variances and effectively apply corrective actions to ensure operational continuity.In shaping and leading turnaround teams, I ensure that individuals clearly understand expected standards and encourage them to work in unity to execute shutdowns while taking the initiative to make quick decisions with limited data on hand and apply judgement. Acknowledged as a change advocate, I demonstrate resilience and influence team support by leading from the front and showcasing change benefits to standardise turnaround processes.KEY ASSETS:• Considerable experience in maintaining Ammonia, Nitric Acid, and Ammonium Nitrate major hazard facilities.• Leading large teams of contracted maintenance and engineering professionals of diverse backgrounds including fabrication, electrical, process and mechanical engineering and tradespersons.• Employing strong capability as an inspirational leader with exceptional interpersonal, communication and presentation skills.• Displaying strong engagement, negotiation and influencing abilities.• Holds Master of Engineering (Engineering Management), a Master of Engineering Science (Electrical Engineering), and demonstrates extensive experience in the reliability of fixed plant equipment and large rotating equipment.• Successfully managing costs and executing activities to support the operational strategy and asset plan.• Applying effective problem solving and troubleshooting abilities for rotating and fixed equipment.• Driving technical teams as the electrical and mechanical manager to deliver high-quality reliability outcomes and achieve safety targets.• Maintaining high levels of resilience to deal with conflicting priorities during major turnarounds.• Highly skilled continuous improvement agent, utilising outstanding Lean Six Sigma, RCM, TPM, OEE, FMECA, FMEA and ISO55001 asset management systematic approaches.
