My current role is Mechanical Workshop Supervisor. This involves supervising maintenance work for all static and rotating equipment to agreed schedules, procedures and standards. I am responsible for keeping records and updating history of all serviced and repaired equipment using Pacer maintenance management system and also responsible for dispatching materials for refurbishment, keeping track and giving feedback of work progress on weekly basis. In addition, I am responsible for service and maintenance of workshop mobile equipment and heavy trucks and I am an authorised mobile equipment inspector.

One of my principal accountabilities is developing and updating specific procedures, work instructions and work plans within the maintenance management system and ensure compliance by subordinates. I also maintain awareness of developments within the industry in mechanical systems and initiate changes that will improve the business. Nevertheless, I am responsible of core team contractors ensuring daily availability and distributing tasks to personnel and ensuring all necessary resources i.e. tool and consumables are provided to efficiently carryout the jobs.

I am always seen as a very committed and enthusiastic employee who is always keen to get tasks accomplished. I have worked in several shutdowns in addition to my routine jobs and I am used to busy environments and to executing quality jobs within given timeframes.
