1994 Pertamina
HSE Staff Training at MRDC
After 1990 Earth summit in Rio, Indonesian’s
President realized Pertamina had no Corporate HSE group, therefore no
company-wide consistent procedures, practices or training. Mobil was chosen as
the best operator in Indonesia, and was contracted to train 60 Pertamina staff
every six months. I taught them about hazard analysis methods and tools.

1985-1990
New Zealand Synthetic Fuels, Waitara,
NZ
Recruited by Mobil into this $1.2 billion Gas-to-Liquids joint
venture.
My initial role for six months prior to startup was training nine new graduates
from all engineering disciplines. They were each assigned an area of the
complex to work in for a month before rotating to another area. Every Friday I
would have them for a day teaching them about all the technical details of one
unit, then took their questions arising from their individual
assignments.
In later years I ran the summer intern program – gave them
real short-term projects. At the end of ten weeks they submitted a written
report, also presented in five minutes to senior management team. Most of our
graduate hires came from this group.

industries.
Changed the approach to the senior year Design Project.
Each team of four was assigned a different process industry plant, with the
same set of project deliverables. Each
team chose a leader whom I met with weekly on their group’s issues. During
their six-hour design studio session I would give short lectures on the
milestone phase they were in & spend the rest of the time going to each
group table.
