Hi Ron, drop me an email with your resume and I’ll see how I can help you.
Dear,
A few years ago it was my dream to work in an offshore position. After getting some information about it, I got the instruction to first get some practice onshore. So I started as a cargo surveyor in the oil business (SGS) in the port of Antwerp.
Now, more than 5 years of blending Gasoil and Gasoline products as well taking a lot of samples, calculating quantities, checking qualities and so on I hope to be ready to get a step closer to my dream.
Qualifications/trainings include the following:
* IFIA certified
*VCA (same as SCC)
*Enclosed spaces
*Compressed Air
*Fire Fighting
*First Aid
*Petroleum Blending and additives
*SGS ‘The silent assassin’ (H2S)
*…
So I was wondering if I have a chance to make it to the offshore business already or do you recommend me to follow some additional training / get some more work experience?
Thanks a lot taking your time reading this message and hopefully provide me with an answer.
Yours faitfully
Ben
