Farewell Origin Energy
by steamtug on Jun.03, 2015, under General
It’s a very sad day for me… My last day working for Origin Energy as a Capability Delivery specialist. I started with them, February last year as the control room operations specialist, but due to a mistake in my contract, they moved me after 1 year to a field position. This meant too much waiting around in airports and I decided I didn’t need this job all that much. So I am leaving, my last day today.
Its very sad to say goodbye to everyone, but I wont miss life in camp here which is pretty harsh and 45 minutes drive North past the black stump from the nearest pub! But its the people who I will miss. I really enjoyed working with the operations team here to make the start up of this gas plant a success.
Its a bit different for me, as this is an upstream plant where we have the gas gathering network where I am supposed to be an expert on gas well heads. Actually I never had seen one before, but with so many years experience in the gas industry kind of figured it out enough to bluff my way through as an expert. Then there are the big gas compressors. We actually I don’t think they are that big after working on compressor units 10 times this size… but that’s another story.
But life goes on, and hopefully I will have some time to spend with Edelweiss my little steam boat doing a Humphrey Bogart style trip in the African Queen. This weekend its the Murray River! Seeeeeeeeeeya
