My acquired skills and experience and my attitude make
me an ideal candidate for contract or consultancy work.
I can offer a potential client a wealth of experience in
many aspects of engineering, of production management and
man management and experience of many management tools.
My experience of several different work cultures and organisational
structures enables me to fit readily into any working situation
and quickly "get up to speed".
During my contract engineering period I have been employed
over a wide range of roles including multi project engineering,
chemical engineering design, process commissioning, validation
and operator training. My main skill is in working with
a client to identify the issue and then to progress to a
timely conclusion.
