PROFILE
I am a fully qualified Instrument Technician with 11 years hands-on experience gained working within multi-
national organisations, in both top tier COMAH plants and oil and gas processing platforms. On completion of
an Advanced Modern Apprenticeship in 2004, I was offered a role as an Instrument technician on a VCM plant.
I have a broad range of engineering skills with good knowledge and understanding of engineering processes
within the chemical/petrochemical industry. My experience has since been enhanced by a further two years
working on oil and gas processing platforms offshore (manned and unmanned). I am a self motivated,
hardworking and conscientious individual with great attention to detail. Dedicated to maintaining high quality
standards, I possess first class analytical and problem solving skills. I always excel under my own initiative and
am a valuable asset to any team.
