Over three decades, I worked my way up through the ranks to become a Regimental Sergeant Major - one of the highest-ranking Non-Commissioned Officers in the British Army. I upheld the highest standards. My role was to set the highest standards, uphold discipline, and ensure the welfare of the soldiers under my watch.
After leaving the army, I joined Omexom where I now serve as a QHSQ Advisor. The parallels are clear. Just as I once set the standards for soldiers, I now set the highest standards for safety, quality, health, and environmental practices across critical energy infrastructure projects. The structure, discipline, teamwork, rigor, financial, and legal aspects of health and safety are supported at all levels.
Omexom recognises the value veterans bring: resilience, adaptability, and the discipline to lead by example. For me, it’s about continuing to serve – this time by ensuring safe, efficient, and professional delivery of the work we do.
