As the Brodgar project moved into the installation phase, my skillset from my previous employment became useful where I reviewed dive and installation procedures in detail for the subsea Brodgar tie-in. I also carried out detail reviews of commissioning procedures.
In addition, I am utilised in an advisory role on other projects when needed and to provide operational support to subsea and topside assets. Operational support included undertaking an Engineering / Technical Client Representative on Dive Support Vessels (DSVs) in the Southern and Central North Sea (SNS & CNS).
