Marcus Jowett

First Name: 
Marcus
Last Name: 
Jowett

I have worked in the Oil ad Gas industry, both in Perth, Western Australia and in Aberdeen, Scotland. I started out as an Assistant, learning the basics from the ground up. Since my first position, i have since progressed and used Primavera P6 and P3E, as well as Microsoft Project. Other programs such as Excel and Access are others i am proficient in.

My planning philosophy is to always ask the hard questions. I am not an engineer, and don't pretend to be. My skill comes from being able to extract the right information out of my engineering colleagues to get a well constructed and thought out plan, that not only is used to track the project and keep it running on schedule, but is a tool that can be used by the engineers as part of their management of the project.
