Wintered at Halley 4 station in 1989 and 1990 as an electronic maintenance engineer looking after upper atmospheric science experiments including large radars and optical instruments and HF receivers.  Carried on these interests and diversified into environmental power and autonomous systems. Acted as Deputy project manager for the Halley VI project with particular responsibilities for the science facilities and programme. Currently head of Electronic Engineering activities within the survey with a particular interest in project and risk management.
