Summary
With over 15 years of experience in the offshore materials control and logistics coordination field, my expertise lies in coordinating and delivering on-site materials control and logistics services. I have successfully worked on a wide range of projects in the oil and gas sector, including Greenfield and Brownfield projects, live production environments, and drilling operations within the onshore, offshore, upstream, and downstream sectors. Prior to this, I gained valuable experience in civil construction and the Australian postal service for 13 years. My skills include implementing robust logistics and materials management principles to optimize efficiency in the supply chain while providing exceptional customer service. Taking a team-focused approach, I possess strong communication, interpersonal, and influencing skills, allowing me to develop beneficial relationships for the business. Understanding plant, equipment, materials, and associated supply chain requirements is a priority for me. Renowned for my excellent work ethic, I consistently make educated decisions and actively seek opportunities to improve systems and processes. Additionally, I am comfortable working rotational shifts in remote and environmentally harsh locations. Safety is paramount to me as I am an enthusiastic supporter of safe work systems. Leading by example when it comes to HSE compliance is crucial for protecting people, equipment, and the environment.
