After graduating from Edinburgh University with a BSc in Mechanical Engineering in 1981 His first real Project Engineering role was for a company building submarines for the tourist market which he describes as a “Boys own adventure in the Caribbean”.
He has worked for main engineering contractors/operators in a Projects role for the majority of his career on a variety of topsides, drilling facilities and subsea projects ranging from multiple modifications programs through to offshore modules and subsea tiebacks.
As a member of Toastmasters International for 13+ years he gained the highest award of DTM and as area governor managed 5 toastmasters clubs in Scotland. A portion of the communication and leadership skills developed at Toastmasters has influenced the important soft skills section of this course.
