I lead safe commissioning, maintenance, and construction across complex oil, gas, electrical, and HVAC projects.
AustraliaWhat I'm looking for
I currently oversee installation and commissioning of a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer unit for Monadelphous at Pluto Gas Plant, coordinating mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, civil, scaffolding, and rigging teams through handover.
Across more than 26 years in offshore and onshore oil and gas, industrial, and commercial work, I’ve led commissioning, shutdown, maintenance, and construction delivery for Technip Energies, Woodside/Monadelphous, Ventia, Exertech, and Anetic Group.
On the Karish FPSO, I managed commissioning activities for living quarters, temporary refuge, and machinery-space HVAC, including procedures, system handover, quality control, safe completion, and startup. At Woodside’s KGP operations, I supervised electrical, instrumentation, HVAC, hazardous-area inspection, fault-finding, and maintenance work.
I bring practical electrical, instrumentation, refrigeration, and HVAC capability alongside project estimating, planning, cost control, QA/QC, permit-to-work, isolations, and SAP CMMS experience. I lead diverse crews with a strong focus on Zero Harm, clear communication, and safe, reliable delivery.
