ABOUT ME
The foundations of successful commissioning are attention to details and effective communication.
Grzegorz Bonter
I’m an industrial automation engineering contractor that can offer over 9 years of experience of work in DCS/Safety field. During that time I gained not only technical knowledge but also learned how to find creative solutions to problems.
I can also call myself an experienced traveler. My work so far gave me an opportunity to perform my duties not only in cozy offices in France but also on both off-shore and on-shore gas installations in Netherlands as well as at farther destinations like Angola or Siberia. In many cases I wasn’t directly supervised and I had to work with clients to see my project to successful completion.
I love challenges and learning new things. Always try to look for ways to improve processes under my care and come up with creative solutions to issues that appear during my work.
