Garry Early

Offshore Construction Superintendant
Kirkcaldy,Fife

Summary

A highly skilled and experienced professional with extensive expertise in the oil and gas sector, both offshore and onshore. I possess comprehensive knowledge of construction, fabrication, and project management, having worked on a wide range of projects for leading clients such as BP, Total, Talisman, ConocoPhillips, and Harbour Energy.

I have successfully managed various scopes, including flowline and well hook-ups, drilling campaigns, caisson replacements, accommodation upgrades, flare tip changeout, and decommissioning projects. I also have significant experience in both brownfield and greenfield work fronts.

I have a proven track record of delivering complex projects on time and within budget, most notably contributing to the successful execution of Harbour Energy’s Talbot and Affleck subsea tie-back capital project. With a strong focus on safety, I have maintained an excellent safety record throughout my career and am known for promoting a safety-first culture across teams. My leadership and ability to coordinate multidisciplinary teams have consistently ensured the safe, timely, and efficient completion of high-stakes offshore projects.

Motivated, results-oriented, and adaptable, I excel in high-pressure environments and thrive on new challenges. Whether working autonomously or as part of a team, I am committed to achieving goals and driving success in every project I undertake.
