What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on roles in commissioning, maintenance or calibration within safety-focused teams that offer technical challenges, career growth and collaborative, multicultural environments.

I am an experienced Instrumentation and Control Technician with a background in commissioning, maintenance and calibration across petrochemical, refinery and mining sectors. I have worked on turn-arounds, preventive and corrective maintenance, and pre-commissioning activities in multiple European sites.

My technical strengths include transmitter and valve calibration, loop checks, SIS testing, handling DCS/ESD (Honeywell) and working with calibration tools such as EMERSON Communicator, BEAMEX, Additel and Druck calibrators.

I have practical experience with functional testing, installation, PROFIBUS commissioning, troubleshooting and fault finding, and have supported hydrostatic and mechanical teams during major outages. I hold technical education in Electronics and Instrumentation and continued training in automation and safety standards.

I adapt quickly to new software and tools, communicate effectively in multicultural teams, and bring disciplined organizational and leadership skills to operational and turnaround projects.
