Skilled Engineering/Operations Manager . I communicate well with clients/ work colleagues and have an eye for detail. Experienced leader and programme manager with 30 year history in the engineering field. I am practical minded so if tasks or methodologies seem unsafe or incorrect I will remove or mitigate the issue. I'm used to working with multiple sub contractors to complete projects and very hands on so if I need to get on the tools to hit a deadline I do. I Expect a high standard of quality so will supply guidance and technical experience to achieve this goal.
I contracted to other companies mainly in fabrication and installation work.
-Esteel boiler fabrication and installation.
-Contract Engineering (Kawerau). Workshop fabrication, Shutdown work Kinlieth.
-Mt Steelcraft, conveyor fabrication and installation.
-Page and Macrae, pipe fitting and welding.
-Active Welding, pipe fitting and welding, structural steel work, architectural s/s work, powerstation maintenance and shutdown work.
I was lucky enough to do my apprenticeship with Page and Macrae Engineering and left with a good basic understanding over a large variety of engineering applications. I could confidently work off fabrication drawings and pipe schematics. I was able to use gridline's and dumpy levels competently for the installation of plant and equipment and came away with a good basic mechanical knowledge for fitting applications.
I enjoy riding in my spare time, Racing if my schedule allows.
I do this mainly just for fun as I live close to 440 mountain bike park.
I run purely for exercise and I find it relaxing, either early in the morning or late in the afternoon and the views are amazing.
