Overview of Experience: I am a flexible & adaptive professional with a proven ability to change my approach to dynamic situations, this has been a key quality in my ability to build a career in health & safety & emergency response management. I have over 15 years experience working with health & safety teams & emergency teams in oil, gas & bulk fuel installations & over ten years experience in emergency team managerial & coordinating roles. I have a proven history of effectively installing & maintaining high quality emergency & HSE response teams, this includes a proven ability to plan, develop, implement & evaluate high quality response plans to changing shutdown/startup situations that meet internal & external stakeholder requirements. I pride myself on keeping up to date with a wide variety of HSE industry & response techniques. I enjoy analytical problem solving & team working in multi cultural arenas, this includes being able to develop complex rosters, timetables, incident investigations & emergency cover plans & policies. Although my past work history appears to be non-completely oil & gas related every position I have held heavily encompasses my ability to manage complex emergency response programs whilst being culturally aware of my clientele’s needs. A Summary of My Professional Approach to Work: • I promote a healthy respect for all cultures, creeds & people as individuals & groups. • I am conscious of the fact that listening to “understand” & encouraging others to do the same greatly assists solving most problems. Where possible I stay away from listening to “reply”. Truly understanding an issue that needs tackling no matter how small or big the issue is means fewer missteps in the process to addressing those issues, & missteps can cost a fortune. • I have a natural love of self-improvement & learning, I truly believe I learn something new each day & am aware that the most valuable lessons often come from the most unexpected places. • I pride myself on being flexible & highly adaptive to my professional surroundings. No job description can encompass every task that may crop up in the course of a contract. With this in mind I am always prepared to jump in & assist my fellow co-workers. • I take criticism well & reflect on this to allow me to become a stronger & more effective professional.
