I worked under Simon as a Project Engineer on multiple projects during my time at Deepocean. I found Simon to be an excellent Project Manager, very approachable and supportive to the team, and always very professional with a straight talking, no-nonsense approach to project management. I would be more than happy to work with Simon again.
