Principal engineer for offshore tenders and activation of the company’s flagship vessels, the Goliath and Sampson. Manage and design the installation of vessel equipment without compromising operations flexibility, minimize capital expenditure and operating costs. Able to implement cost savings using plug-and-play modules. Increased vessel workability and operations flexibility through a combination of hydrodynamic studies and vessel modifications. Rewrote vessel stability booklet to increase heavy lift capacity.

Supervised crane operations, cargo loadouts, and offshore installations to decrease operation time and increase efficiency while maintaining safe operations. Created and conducted JSA and Task Plan review for operations with a proven record of upholding QHSE industry standards. Experience includes DP operations, survey, subsea installations, heavy lift, and pipelay (rigid & flexible). • Minimized waste and maintained budget during onshore/ offshore operations by efficient use of vessel time. • Performed MOC for procedure deviation to decrease operation time and minimize wear to equipment.• Performed umbilical installation analysis and develop installation sequence to fully utilize vessel capability. • Provided Project Manager and project personnel with real-time updates to optimize operations schedule.• Supervised operations during mobilization and performed onsite changes to seafastening and deck layout. Performed analysis to design equipment modules to integrate onto the vessel for operations. Experience includes Deadweight Survey, Incline Experiment, vessel RAOs and analysis to find damping coefficient for S-Lay, J-Lay, and support vessels. Required knowledge of vessel structure, optimizing deck layout, motion analysis class rules and onsite installation modifications. • Global 1200 and 1201 development and analysis.• Designed the Plate Stanchion to save deck space, increase load capacity, and decrease costs.• Developed Workability and Cycle Time analysis for projects and bids to optimize operations schedule.• Coordinated with Project Managers to outline vessel capabilities ensuring maximum vessel utilization.• Created Boom Tip Motion Report by calculating DAF from RAOs to streamline heavy lift procedures.
