Jason Quinn

I worked with James for almost three years on PGS' Ramform Vessels. During that time I found him to be motivated, confident and industrious in his work regime. His approach was methodical and comprehensive in the analysis and QC of seismic data. James was hardworking within the team environment - always willing to aid other departments in tasks often outside his own daily remit - but he could also be relied upon to work independently in an efficient manner. Importantly too, his safety acumen was excellent and embraced the HSE culture. I would certainly recommend James as a valuable work colleague in any endeavour.
