How I work

Practical work shaped around the vessel

Some jobs are a single repair. Others involve a new installation or a small or medium refit of selected AV/IT systems. I look at what people need to do with the result and what the change may affect.

Before the work

A clear quotation and explanation

You tell me about the current problem or the change you want. I explain the proposed work in an introductory quotation.

Time, budget and the systems connected to the work all matter. A simple fix may be straightforward. If changing one part would disrupt others, I explain whether they should be reconfigured or replaced together. When the cause is unclear, an initial diagnostic visit may be the sensible first job.

Working approach

From the request to a result people can use

I keep the approach practical and adapt the preparation to the job.

  1. 01

    Understand the need

    We discuss the fault, installation or refit and how guests and crew use the affected system.

  2. 02

    Explain the proposed work

    I consider time, budget and connected equipment, then send an introductory quotation explaining what will happen.

  3. 03

    Do the work

    I repair, install or reconfigure the agreed equipment, taking care when a change affects other systems.

  4. 04

    Check it in use

    I check the result as the crew would use it and explain any settings or instructions they need.

After the work

Information that fits the job

After a small repair, the crew may only need a password-list update or a few instructions. A more involved AV/IT refit usually calls for diagrams, documentation, instructions and access details.

I check the work myself from the crew’s perspective. When useful, I also show them how the result works. If the work changes passwords, I update the vessel’s password list or pass the details to the crew privately.
