"The results do have some distinct characteristics that I demonstrate- Influencer, Manager & Quality Controller.Leadership has been essential in the RAF and at Sea - the ability to work alone and within a team, take responsibility for your actions (a very desirable and respected trait). Adaptability to an ever changing situation at sea is compulsory - it doesn't matter how extensively you plan, if something breaks or the weather dramatically changes then your plan needs to change.I've always been organised, an organiser of others and someone who usually visualises a back up plan with important scenarios for that 1/100 'just in case'."

"Sail the vessel, being responsible for its safety and the safety of all on board. Safety officer duties from checking paperwork, work sites, maintenance, risk assessments up to date and being followed. The outcomes focus on the vessel operating safely and meeting the many international and UK legal requirements, client expectations and company standards.I enjoy the autonomy and responsibilities. Previous contracts I enjoyed the experiences of multiple countries and a highly diverse crew."

"At 18 immediately after A Levels I joined the RAF for 8 years in Logistics, during that time completed many adventurous training courses and an Honours Degree. On leaving the RAF I worked on various diving boats for a year and then started a 3 year Deck Officer Cadetship. On qualifying I progressed and passed exams for Chief Officer."

"I scuba dived regularly at depths down to 100 metres mostly in Scottish waters, trekked over glaciers in the Himalayas, driven on the Karakorum Highway in Pakistan, hillwalk and camp as often as i can."

"Take over the bridge watch at 0400 from the 2nd Officer – looking at how the boat is handling, our location, other vessels, weather, obligations to the rig and any tasks I need to address (ordering stores, maintenance duties, training drills, fresh water sampling and chlorination, vessel safety inspections, reports)Hand over command of the vessel to Captain at 0800. Allocate duties and conduct checks and complete paperwork till 1000hrs.1600 Resume responsibility of the vessel till 2000hrs with the same considerations and duties on the morning watch.This pattern is repeated for 28 days."
