I joined Swire Energy Services in January 2007.
Originally joining the the test-department as an operator, and my tasks were NDT-testing, preparation of offshore containers, baskets and tanks.
As one of few girls, I started “on the floor”, my daily workplace was among and around containers. During the 6 years I worked for the Test & Inspection division, I became very familiar with our equipment and gained real hands on experience of what we do to make sure the equipment is to the right standard to before it gets delivered to the customer and ensure our value of Excellence is guaranteed for every unit before it goes out the door.
In 2013, I joined the “Special equipment divisions ” which works on the delivery of maintenance & inspection services along with the development of customer-owned equipment, I joined as a project assistant. My tasks were to plan project and liaise the customers to ensure we delivered what they expected with the right documentation. At the same time I was responsible for the decommissioning of old units and supporting the testing and inspection department.
In June 2015, I became part of the new central Customer Service department ensuring we live and deliver our vision of being the easiest company to work with . I became the main contact for four of our bases - Mongstad, Florø, Kr.Sund and Hammefest.
Today my work tasks are mostly supporting our integrity services division, developing quotes and scopes of works and supporting project delivery.
I enjoy my role as a coordinator in Customer Service it is most important that our customers are satisfied with us, and that we find the best solutions for them. Building trust and building long-term relationships with our customers is an important part of my job.
With all the good expertise my colleagues have, and our company, that has served the oil industry for over 40 years, I am looking forward to continue to Serving the Energy World.
I am proud to represent Swire Energy Services in the future.
Summarized: I started in operations, with Test & Inspection, after that IMT-projects and Asset before taking on my current role in 2015 as Coordinator for Customer Services. My work tasks today are mostly for Integrity Services, with focusing on customer-owned equipment and customer relationship.
