Algeria. Wood Group is a large Oil and Gas contract company who supply a work force to B.P, Shell and various other Oil Companies around the world.

My training was obtained via a 9000 hour apprenticeship in Fitting, Turning and Machining, with Trade and Advanced Trade Certification.

I have demonstrated sound analytical skills, the ability to effectively observe, plan and prioritise tasks and have a high degree of mechanical aptitude, yet I am always willing to learn how to improve my skills. As with all positions safety is of up most importance.
