Technical lead experience.
Nine months (as of December) with Osbit Ltd as Technical Electrical Lead and Construction, Commissioning & Test Engineer, resolving electrical failures and configuring proprietary devices alongside Controls and Mechanical Engineers. Underpinned by service with the Royal Fleet Auxiliary and PNTL; comfortable embedding with ship crews, contractors and OEMs while keeping safety, permits and documentation tight and resolving issues quickly.

❓ FAQs
Do you work solo or with OEMs?
Both. Happy to lead diagnostics or embed with shipyard/OEM teams.
How quickly can you mobilise?
North East UK quickly; further afield with notice.
What do clients receive?
Concise reports with findings, actions, photos and red-lines. Evidence is archived for audit.
How do you handle permits and safety?
Used to toolbox talks, PTWs, confined spaces and isolations on active vessels.
Do you work on vessels away from port?
Yes. I can travel as a passenger to vessels away from port.
Can you work on oil rigs?
No. I cannot hold an unrestricted ENG1 (peanut allergy) and cannot obtain BOISET/OEUK, so oil rig roles are out of scope.
