Fuchs Lubricants @ Arjo Wiggins Aberdeen

While with Fuchs Lubricants I held the role of site supervisor, based at Arjo Wiggins paper mill in Aberdeen. My role there included day to day management of the site's lubrication and also the condition monitoring of critical machinery throughout the Mill. I was also responsible for the monthly cost management of the clients oil / grease usage, weekly condition monitoring reports including vibration analysis, lubrication analysis and planned shut down work.Furthermore I was responsible for the supervision of the only other Fuchs employees permanently working at the mill, which is a small team of two. I was tasked to be their first contact with regards to holidays, sickness, injuries and any general issues that they may have. I also prepared each of their work scope packs on a weekly basis and closed off completed work packs when done.

During my time with SKF I worked closely with clients that I had been allocated, and was taske with managing their CBM and reliability programme and atrend regular monthly meetings to discuss any on-going issues/remidial actions and imrovments.My contracts were primarily with MAERSK FPSO's (Curlew & NSP) and then with Bluewater (Haewene Brim & Aoka Mizu). I instantly struck up a great relationship with my clients both onshore and offshore during this time, where feedback from both Maersk & Bluewater were very positive and my work was praised.My workscope with the above clients involved setting up monitoring programmes, mobilizing offshore to acquire data from machinery, undertaking onshore analysis of the data acquired and actively producing reports on a monthly basis with recommendations of necessary remedial work to be carried out.With bluewater I also regularly applied ultrasound emissions using the Ultra Probe 9000 along with lubrication surveys, sampling, analysis and reporting on my assigned platforms/vessels.I also gained a great deal of experience in bearing failure analysis over a two year period, whereby it was solely my job to dismantle, clean and inspect failed bearings, ultimately providing a detailed report and recommendations to some high profile clients like BP & Marathon Oil amongst others.

Tasks at Erik's were overhauling electric motors, pumps and H-vac fans and carrying out some E.x inspections both onshore at various sites like distilleries and docked boats in aberdeen, stavanger and Bergen, and also on multiple different north sea platforms. I was also part of the condition monitoring team whilst with Eriks, where I performed alignment checks / corrections and some trim balancing, again both on and offshore. I was also tasked with mobilizing to a number off platforms in both the UK and Norwegian sectors of the Noth sea to undertake HAVS testing on all applicable hand tools. A full and detailed technical report was then issued by myslefe and would be used as part of the installations permit to work system as a guidline on the users daily limits. I regularly verified repairs and overhauls of rotating equiptment upon completion using vibration analysis techniques performed in the test area of the workshop, and compiled customer reports when completely satisfied.I gained a great deal of knowledge and experience at ERIKS before moving on to SKF.
