Things I’ve helped build
Manufacturing, from the ground up
Industrial experience
Built around real manufacturing.
My experience spans cementing and completion equipment—including liner hangers, packers and frac sleeves—and internal and external coatings for pipelines and casing. I’ve worked across manufacturing operations, product development, precision machining, assembly, testing and process improvement, including GRE lining and PLC-controlled coating lines.
- Operations I have led three manufacturing facilities covering approximately 60,000 square metres.
- Product development I’ve helped develop and launch two completion product lines.
- Quality & process Client audits, process validation and assembly/testing.
Robotics alongside CNC machining
Integrating robotics into CNC operations, with the team focused on repeatability, consistency and process stability.

Talking manufacturing at Technology Day
Technology Day brought engineers, customers and specialists together around casing and cementing solutions. I spoke about manufacturing.
One of the most rewarding parts of my career has been helping bring a manufacturing facility into operation—from the equipment and processes to the team and the way everything worked together.
There were hundreds of small moments when something clicked into place. Together, they became a working operation.
Bringing operations together
My experience includes leading three manufacturing facilities covering around 60,000 square metres. A lot of that work comes down to helping people see how their part connects with everyone else’s, and making sure they have the information, tools and support to do it well.
Facility start-up
Bringing a facility into operation
About a year
A facility brought into operation in approximately one year.
Equipment
Equipment selection, installation and commissioning.
One operation
Departments integrated, ERP introduced and the workforce trained.
Scale
Three manufacturing sites of around 60,000 square metres, and two well-completion product lines.
Design to production
From prototype to repeatable production
Prototype
Early builds to test the design.
Tooling
Fixtures and tooling for consistent manufacture.
Inspection & test plans
What gets checked, when and against what.
Validation
Proving the process before it runs at volume.
Training
Preparing the team to produce it well.
