Geoffrey David Ellett

Offshore surveyor / Survey Party Chief

About

I am presently seeking to expand my skill set to project management or with the potential for such responsibilities. I have a great deal of marine construction experience and if needed offshore expect to be paid both fairly and commensurate with my 23 years of Marine Construction and geophysical experience. I am looking for an employer and position which will allow me to grow both technically and professionally as I love my job. I did some survey work in the Magellan Straits all christmas and New Years in Punta Arenas Chile in 2011-12, went to mexico for a deepwater acoustic pipelay, ofshore geophysical hazard surveys for windfarms on east coast, jliftboats, diveboats, laybarges, pipelay, jascket orientation and positioning, jackup rigmoves, submersible rigmoves, deepwater drillships positioning etc... I am not opposed to travel overseas and like work overseas. Im well accustomed to long hours and long jobs.
