  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    • I am an Instrument designer and have to provide drawings for oil rigs offshore which go to technicians who then complete the work based on my drawings. Currently however there is a lack of design work due to the decline in oil price therefore I am carrying out what is called "As-Building" on a daily basis . This is updating master drawings to the status that they are built to offshore.
