Not a Desk Engineer.
A Site Engineer.
Most ATEX consultants write documents. I've spent 25+ years actually on site — supervising installations, running inspections, troubleshooting faults, and updating documentation in real hazardous environments. That field background is what makes the difference between paperwork and real compliance.
My experience covers the full lifecycle — from preservation, construction and commissioning through operations, maintenance, repair, and brownfield upgrades — on offshore platforms, onshore megaprojects, and fabrication yards across Europe, Central Asia, and the Far East.
