  Battery engineer

  Since the start of 2005 I was in the role of first man, responsible person during offshore visits. This position as a battery engineer allowed me the opportunity to gain experience working on battery chargers, uninterruptible power supply equipment and battery systems, both onshore and offshore.During the offshore side of this job I visited numerous installations run by various companies and I planned, oversaw and carried out battery maintenance, new system installations, cell replacements and testing.Whilst onshore the job included building or refurbishing traction batteries for use in forklift trucks, charger maintenance, UPS maintenance, delivering batteries to customers and commissioning batteries for offshore installations.At Norco I was involved in working both as part of a team and as an individual, through which I learned how to communicate, describe and troubleshoot problems and situations within this industry.

  Aug 2007 - Aug 2016

  Senior electrical engineer

  Conoco Phillips project, BP Andrew Area Development project and the Shell GPS rejuvanation project. As graduate electrical engineer, electrical engineer and senior electrical engineer, carrying out works such as upgrade design books, workpacks and studies for distribution board extension/modification, MCC modifications and replacements, lighting replacement, trace heating renewal, uninterruptable power supplies, supervision/control of the refresh charging procedures of the replacement battery systems for UPS systems. I have also had input at various stages of inter-departmental workscopes including, valve replacement, chromatograph replacement, pipework cut-out jobs and control building utilisation. The process of completing each job often requires site surveys and vendor liaison.Throughout this work I have used lighting calculation software and trace heating software.I have undertaken additional responsibilities, such as becoming the print champion, which is the focal point for any printing problems within the office, developed and updated the electronic material requisition template, played a large part in creating new workpack templates and created various excel spreadsheets for different departments, many of which include the use of visual basic macros. The excel spreadsheets and macros developed by me help increase visibility of various aspects of the project, and in some circumstances have led to time and cost savings.Since early 2010 I was responsible for the control of engineers completing trace heating workpacks, handling any queries, attending planning meetings and ensuring target dates are achieved for all trace heating workscopes. This role meant I had to liaise with other engineering departments, projects, planning and the client. Show less
