Engineering Consultant: Intersafe, BrisbaneMay 2007 - Present
Intersafe is a safety engineering consultancy that investigates safety incidents for court cases and trains companies about workplace safety based on knowledge of the accidents that are actually occurring in industry.
PhD Candidate APA(I): Design Management: Industry Partner, Thiess, Brisbane.Aug 2003 – May 2007
Thiess is a construction company doing large infrastructure projects in building, civil, process and mining. I have conducted several case studies on Design Management within the company for my PhD thesis.
As part of the project I have been assisting Design Managers and performing similar tasks to a Design Manager. For Example I have assisted withenvironmental and risk management plans, document control and the design of the Nitrogen Purge and Cool Down procedure for a Tank. The procedure was budgeted for around 1,000,000 AUD and involved the procurement of several pieces of equipment and liaison with several different parties from around the world. The designs required innovative and lateral thinking in order to reduce nitrogen consumption and meet the budget constraints. Several design options were researched. The option, which was recommendedfrom this procedure, was adopted for use by Thiess. The procedure was successfully performed to the predicted time and was well under the original budget due to the innovative and lateral design solution.
I have written and presented three conference papers on the project. One of which was at the International Conference of Engineering Design, ICED ’05.
Logging Engineer: Robertson´s Geologging Australia, ClevelandApr 2003 – Aug 2003
When I started as a geotechnical logging engineer at RGGA the company was a new service provider of wireline logging to the mineral, coal and coal methane gas industry. As the only logging engineer reporting to the general manager I helped set up the business from nothing to a base with operational logging vehicles and won several contracts for work with these vehicles. Amongst other things I helped outfit the base and logging vehicles, design and establish a radioactive store and wrote a tender for a BMA contract. I also helped establish the companies Operational Health and Safety Policies and Standard Operating Procedures. I have completed all the necessary coal industry induction courses and radiation courses for access to surface mine sites. The job involved being in remote areas and taking full responsibility for the job and equipment. There was also liaison with site geologists, the site senior executive, mining engineers, drillers, new clients and the like.
Chief Translator: Trotters (Dangerous Goods Management), Kolding, Denmark.Jan 2002 – Jul 2002
Trotters is a company which manages other companies dangerous goods. Their clients include the army, oil companies, chemical factories and the like. They have programs for the management of dangerous goods.
I was responsible for translating engineering documents, dangerous goods transport documents, Material Safety Data Sheets, Technical Data Sheets, training material, contractual agreements and communication and marketing documents. These translations required engineering, health, safety and environment, legislative and dangerous goods knowledge. They were pleased with my work and even though I had not yet completed Danish language education, they gave me the position of Chief Translator after 3 months. A project I worked on for Esbjerg Paints can be seen on Translations were distributed to Sweden, Norway, Baltic, Germany and world wide in connection with establishing a co-operation agreement between trotters and DGM. This included writing and translating material for transporting of dangerous goods in all transport forms (IATA, ADR/RID, and IMDG) and classes, including radioactive material and explosives. I still do the occasional translation via email in Australia.
Field Engineer: Schlumberger Offshore Services, Esbjerg, Denmark.Aug 1998 – Nov 2000
Schlumberger is a multi-national company, which provides varied services to oil and gas companies. The main division I worked in was Schlumberger Wireline, which uses geological measuring tools to estimate the position and quantity of oil and gas in boreholes as well as obtaining information on the structure and environment of the borehole.
The job I undertook involved project management, including job design and client liaison, equipment procurement, maintenance, transport and logistics, technical problem solving and updating of equipment designs, crew and Field Engineer development and training. Due to the nature of the environment this involved complex tool combinations and geological measurements seldom recorded before. Amongst other things I worked with the combination of the Formation Micro Imaging tool with the Platform Express, helped with patch flex development on coiled tubing and made a stress analysis test on a well with the Modular Dynamics Tool. This job required good problem solving and interpersonal skills, hands on work and troubleshooting in remote areas.
I progressed to lead engineer for Mærsk. As lead engineer I was responsible for 4 engineers and the units on 4 rigs. I often visited Mærsk to discuss coming jobs, interpret logs and improve client knowledge. I made a training session on the rig about radioactive and explosive safety for the Mærsk crew. I also wrote a tender for DONG and was safety officer for 6 months. Safety meetings were conducted each week and I attended to any safety issues that arose. Courses such as handling and stepping, including stairway, manual lifting, trips, falls and PPE (personal protective equipment) were done as part of the job. Sea safety, Sea Rescue, H2S, basic fire-fighting, Helicopter Evacuation Training and skid and ice control courses as subsequently outlined were also undertaken.
I have knowledge of offshore facilities, production engineering and field development planning as I have done exploration as well as production work. As a great deal of work in Denmark was TLC (Tough Logging Conditions), I have a good knowledge of the drill floor, drive systems and down-hole equipment used on oilrigs.
Field Engineer: Schlumberger Geophysics Nusantra, Duri, Sumatra, Indonesia.Dec 1996 – Aug 1998
In addition to working in Denmark for Schlumberger I also worked in Indonesia. In Indonesia my responsibilities included the completion of onshore projects in Schlumberger Wireline. Maintenance of the logging truck, crew car and the equipment as well as the crew was part of my responsibility. A crew consisted of from 2 to 6 operators and technicians.
They were satisfied with my work thus after an initial training period and due to the amount of work in the area I was given the responsibility of Field Engineer before thenormal time. The base began as a small base with 4-5 engineers. When I left there were over 20 engineers. Thus I helped train many trainee engineers to become Field Engineers.
A great deal of the work was in explosives, production, gravel packing and exploration. Our main client was CALTEX. I also did work for SANTOS. I was transferred to Denmark to do more exploration work.
For this job safety courses such as off Sea Survival, Survival First Aid/CPR, Breathing Apparatus, H2S, Basic Fire Fighting, Helicopter Safety and Escape Training, 4WD, Defensive driving and skid control were undertaken as outlined below.
Vacation Engineer: Comalco Aluminium Smelter, Bell Bay, Tasmania, AustraliaNov 1994 – Feb 1995
As part of being a vacation engineer I conducted a project on the Shot-Blaster in the RodingRoom. The Shot-Blaster is a machine, which uses shots to clean large pieces of coal. The coal is used as anodes in the smelting process. I presented the findings and recommendations of the project to a board and wrote a technical paper on the Shot-Blaster for future reference. While at Comalco I was responsible for coal transport and clearing of hazardous material from the workplace. This was a three month Vacation Engineer position.
A PPE (personal protective equipment) and safety initiation course was done as part of the job.
