LETTER OF INTRODUCTION: QA/QC, NDE, WELDING INSPECTION.

I am writing to introduce myself and to inform you that I am now free to immerse myself in new challenges as Senior Welding Inspector/Quality Specialist.

As you can read on the attached CV, I have many years of experience with structural/piping systems and Sub Sea Equipment. This experience was acquired onshore and offshore, aboard ships and offshore installations, at shops, yards and refineries.

The most recent project was the REVISION STOPP 2010 at the Statoil Mongstad Refinery here in Norway. Prior to this, I was offshore on Songa Delta for Mongstad Test & Inspection, whom I have represented on many occasions.

I would also, like to mention a longer period for Aker Solutions, where I was involved with the building and handover of 3 offshore rigs: Aker Barents, Aker Spitzbergen and Statoil’s Gjøa.

I won’t list all of the different projects I’ve been involved with. You can get a pretty good idea of my experience when you read my CV. Please feel free to ask if you require more detailed info.

I am single, with not even a goldfish to tie me down so, I’m free to travel more or less anywhere. I thrive in an international work environment. My English, Norwegian and Spanish are fluent so, I can function pretty much anywhere.

My references are impeccable and a list will promptly be forwarded upon request.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and the attached CV.


Kind Regards,
