As Operator of my business I provide homeowners and small businesses an efficient way to maintain their property. Painting, replacing doors, cabinets & bench tops, re-pointing bricks, fix leaky taps, change flyscreens, gutter cleaning, garden clean ups and reticulation repairs are the most common services.

Here I supervise subcontractors and in-house workshop personnel to inspect, repair and test offshore drilling/completions equipment i.e. Compensated Tension Lift Frame (CTLF) for deployment by a major oil company. The CTLF is a hydraulic compensation device for ‘locked-to-bottom’ operations on floating drilling rigs (semi-subs and drillships).

My role was to oversee the maintenance of 4 dredging units as part of the Wheatstone Project consisting of Backhoe Dredge New York, two barges and one tugboat. I coordinated the 5 yearly special survey for BHD New York and 2 barges in Henderson, WA before all units departed Australia by the end of December 2014 to return to USA.

The main responsibility was to provide onshore technical support to offshore drilling rigs. In addition to coordinate the planning and execution of projects for new installations, modifications and overseeing the onshore equipment repair.
