My career started out thanks to a love of nature, the environment and earth science that combined with a certain aptitude for geography, maths and physics, sending me on a collision course with a Geophysics degree, mostly on the assumption I’d get to learn about earthquakes and volcanoes. That I did, a little, but unless I set my sights on an academic career that dream job working in ‘earthquakes and volcanoes’ wasn’t going to materialise, so I fell into the oil & gas industry…. with no real idea at the time where that would ultimately lead.But I needn’t have worried, as I fell into an industry that has offered me no end of opportunities and different possible paths of discovery. If I saw an open door that looked interesting I’d take it and I am a firm believer that hard work and a can-do attitude, plus the flexibility to adapt is what makes those doors open. I have progressed from technical roles as a geophysicist, to sales, business analytics and more strategic functions such that now, 17 years later, I know where I was meant to end up having uncovered a passion for strategic planning and delivering business growth and improvement. I see such things as puzzles to crack - bringing all the pieces together, building a case for the most likely route to success and then turning that into a reality is incredibly enjoyable, bringing variety and continual challenges that keep every day fresh and exciting.And there is no more rewarding a place to do that than in the dynamic and ever changing world of geoscience, which is why our adventure with RockWave is so thrilling. The energy industry is at a time of transition and we have built a great team, an exciting vision and the knowledge, skills and experience to deliver for a range of clients across the energy and engineering sector, and grow our name as a leading provider of seismic services. That’s just as exciting as earthquakes and volcanoes!
