• Field Geophysicist/Seismic observer

  • Apr 2007 - Jun 2012

  While working in the R&D department, I also worked in the field, firstly, as line crew then working my way up to be a line-boss and observer/party manager of 2D seismic crews on prospects in QLD and NSW. In addition to acquisition and QC of seismic data, I was responsible for the health and safety of the crew, all administration duties and logistics associated with running a 2D seismic crew. All duties were performed within the health and safety framework of both Velseis and the client companies. Show less
