Executive Document Controller at Macgregor Pte Ltd in Singapore

I am also a certified IMS auditor at my company. So coupled as a document controller and auditor, you can say that I am like a document policemen, trying to catch and correct any kind of document irregularities here and there!  

In my leisure times, I like to read a lot and spend quality time with my family. 

What is your current role? 

My current role is Executive Document Controller in Engineering Department in Offshore Business Line at Macgregor Pte Ltd. 

Our offshore business line in the Smart Ocean Technology division deals primarily in the manufacturing and supply of offshore deck machinery like winches and cranes. 

My main duties are to support the engineering department to ensure the entire document deliverables are issued in a timely manner, managing the engineering drawings & document database, archiving & filing project documents and controlling engineering work procedures and related documents.

Can you describe your professional experience? 

I have been working in MacGregor for the past 10 years and this year I will accept my 10th Year long service employee award at our company dinner event!  My previous work experiences include working in a legal firm and in the tele-communication industry.  

I would say the best and most fulfilling experience so far is my current job in Macgregor.  Working with a world class developer of deck machineries, I have been given ample exposure in dealing with documentation for various kinds of vessels such as FPSO, Offshore vessels, Rigs, Barges etc.  The work is extremely enriching as you learn every day and you get opportunities to perform in an encouraging work environment.  

Which Consepsys course did you attend and when?

I attended the Certified Document Controller course conducted by Consepsys in September 2016 in Singapore.

What did you think about the Consepsys course? How did it help you in your current role and career development?

I would say the course is definitely a “Must Go” training for all document controllers. 

The content covered in the course is very detailed, spanning for 3 days with a wide range of all the “Must Know” topics of document control.  

I was able to reinforce my foundation knowledge of document control, further learn the correct ways on how to develop procedures and, most importantly, learning from the documents control professionals has boosted my own confidence and passion for my work by leaps and bounds.   

And I am also delighted to share that I was recently promoted and I believe my training at Consepsys was a reason for my career advancement.
