      While the Job title was Logistics Coordinator the scope was more akin to a Services Team Leader role. I managed and delivered marine and aviation logistics, planning, telecommunications, standby vessel operations, crane operations, lifting (LOLER), scaffolding and services functions. I supervised a core staff of 8 multi-skilled technicians and fabric maintenance personnel on an ad-hoc basis. I delivered on all aspects of company and legislative compliance within my department including internal audits on Talisman Energy procedures and external audits from HM Customs, HSE and BHAB. I was movements’ coordinator within the ECC for emergency response. Show less
