Objective
My work experience covers a multitude of varied projects, Greenfield, Brownfield, module construction LNG, Power, Maintenance to name a few where I have been fortunate to provide services which specialize on Planning/Scheduling, Project monitoring and management being proficient in all versions of Primavera. Always willing to listen and learn as well as lead if required, being flexible in any work environment, adaptable to changes and improvements with a real focus problem solving approach whilst being very proactive in ensuring a positive culture, way forward at all times.
Having worked for the client and EPCM within the Oil & gas industry/Power etc, for over thirteen years working my way up from a tradesman, showing enthusiasm and initiative in the field and due to my knowledge of computing I was quickly offered a position in trainee management as a planner scheduler. Being fortunate to have worked in the industry as a tradesman planning has become a natural process for me as I can readily envisage the sequential steps and processes required to produce and work with a realistic schedule whilst understanding both the need for correct reporting of all deliverable in the correct format providing information on all the required deliverables.
Through hard work and my ability to work with all levels of management I have progressed steadily into becoming a very competent project planner who works well at all levels.
