Technical Expertise Team

My self and Tom Evitts from Honeywell Atlanta, US, form the DCS Controls Technical Expertise Group, supporting Honeywell engineers, as well as Shell. Tom has just left for two weeks off, leaving me to cope alone. I have got some help, in the form of John McElveen, (in the blue t-shirt) who is also from Honeywell Atlanta. He is looking after the serial comms side of things, and currently helping me out with some PCDI comms, Safety Manager investigations. There is also another Honeywell Atlanta engineer, Charles, not in the picture. All three came to site a few months ago, together. The Atlanta office must be quite empty at the moment! This week I have started the process of taking over the "Asset model" here on site, as Matt Thompson, who has looked after it for years now, may be leaving at the end of October, and like most of our Australian friends, will be taking some time off and trecking around the world, starting apparently with a year in Canada. I have another three weeks out here before my next break, also at the end of October. I am looking forward to that. I will probably have to do some early Christmas shopping, as the next time I go back to the UK will be 22nd December. A bit late to start shopping.
