Robert Obrien

Offshore Operator

Summary

I am an accomplished and energetic individual. Conscientious and motivated with strong organizational and prioritization abilities, I can handle tasks with accuracy and efficiency. I am a driven individual with experience of working to targets in fast paced environments. I am looking to work in a progressive and forward-thinking organization where I can fully utilize my extensive experience and grow further professionally. I am currently seeking out new challenges to strengthen my skills both personally and professionally. My family are from a Showman's background that can be traced back to the 1800s. We have always dealt with the public, so safety concerns are imperative. We erect, operate and maintain daily checks on machines that can be fast moving and have many different components such as hydraulic ramps pumps and cylinders. Many of the machines are powered by electric motors that range from 110V 220V and 440V, so public safety is our number one priority. We are always alert with our surroundings and work in teams to provide the safest possible experience to the public. We have public liability and test our machinery regularly by professional companies before we even operate. I left school at 16 years old and went straight into the family run business. I personally have over the years operated and maintained many different types of machinery I have seen how technology has advanced over my years in work such as pressure sensors, CPUs and fail-safe systems been brought into place. All my Medical and Health and Safety certificates are up to date, and I am ready to work immediately. I hold a valid Full UK Passport and Drivers License.
