Camp Boss on the West Gemeni drillship in Angola West Africa with Sodexo. Responsibilities as below with a POB of 170 personnel. I built up a great rappore with the client and my operation staff, I initiated Health and Safety training on board and made sure the local staff understood what I was telling them and why we did it.

Responsible as above with a whole new culture to learn and understand, also dealing with the problems associated with Stacking the rig and down manning, Staffing and Discipline, crew changes and budgeting. I now feel after nearly 7 years working as a camp boss I can provide the type of service any client would be pleased with and temper my style to meet any client’s requirements. I have worked on six rigs now. I have been training Local staff to take over the duties of Camp Boss. Responsible for the catering, laundry and Cleaning services on Shah Deniz Platform also training Local Camp bosses. Direct Liaison with the client in all matters relating to the fixtures and fittings and organizing purchase of any item required for the Accommodation unit. This was very challenging as it was direct day to day contact with a very awkward client whom I received a glowing reference from at the end of the project. Responsible for running the Catering department and the cleaning services on a very old oilrig bringing the staff and the standards up to where our company and our clients require. Interesting rig as we can have as many as 36 nationalities onboard at one time.

I was responsible for setting up the safety and Hygiene systems and running the day to day work on the rig. Having to learn Basic Russian along the way as all staff spoke very little English. I was responsible for the ordering, budgeting and the dietary content of all meals prepared. Also during that time we had to train the local staff in the food hygiene and other safety issues. The region throws up various challenges to us through weather and lack of supplies through transport problems and custom problems so menus had to be organized accordingly.
