Experienced Company Reps/Engineer/Supervisor/Inspector/Auditor (QA&QC/Welding/Subsea Structure/Coating/Structure/Piping & NDT)

Inspector, Supervisor / Technician, Engineer, Superintendent

I am a mechanical engineer by education, with a wide variety of experience in offshore/subsea systems. I have spent a lot of time designing and building offshore/subsea systems, but I have also spent a lot of time in the field installing and testing them, so I am comfortable in both situations--and ideally in a role that bridges both.
