Founder @ Access Technical Advisory

About

20 years of field and consultancy experience across oil & gas, offshore assets, and telecoms infrastructure, I help CEOs, COOs, Project and Technical Managers avoid the three things that kill project performance: compliance failures, operational misalignment, and the wrong technical decisions made too late. I have worked with Total, Shell, Perenco, BW Energy, Egyptian Drilling Company and others across Gabon, Congo, Ivory Coast, and France. What I deliver: Compliance assurance — Method Statements, Risk Assessments, Rescue plan third-party audits Downtime reduction — remote technical oversight and operational coordination Risk elimination — NDT advisory (UT, MPI), confined space and difficult access operations Decision support — bridging the gap between executive planning and field execution Former IRATA Level 3 (2006-2022). Independent since 2017. Bilingual French and English. Based in Cape Town — working with clients remotely and on-site, worldwide. If your project involves high-risk access, asset integrity, or offshore operations and you need a sharp independent technical eye — send me a message or connect directly.
