People Management Skills:
During my career I have had the responsibility of leading a team of multi-disciplined engineers which included; facility, structural engineers pdms designers and modellers from various levels up to lead. I would generally communicate to discipline leads in first instance and then check that the changes were being incorporated by the team, I would then communicate decisions when made (as appropriate) this helps people buy in to a solution.
Furthermore, I have previously been acting on behalf of Repsol Management on vessel with 75 Crew eg Marianos P/Lay Vessels and made sure all Safety Toolbox talks and procedures followed, reviewed and commented on _method statements etc. responsible for Divers, ROV, Trenchers and when bringing Chipiron 2 Well on line I have communicated on one to one and specific group talks as best suited in for particular situation.
