Mentored the team to refine planning and push boundaries of what could be achieved in a given time frame, leading to significant cost savings. Trained numerous teams on OSHA and CGG health and safety, driving improved performance and reduction in injuries, zero LTI incidents in 10 years. Utilised training knowledge and experience to resolve team conflicts, enabling team members to recognise and adapt to different personality types and communication styles. Brought downtime from 7% to an industry-leading 2% within a year by negotiating swap out of faulty equipment with better equipment owned by the company, improvements in onboard practices and driving compliance with established procedures.
