RECOMENDATIONS

  • JAMES BAXTER (Instrument and Control Supervisor - Technip Energies) Being instrumentation & Controls Supervisor, I had the pleasure to manage Jheisson Mestas, Instrumentation Technician, within my team. Our project was the ENI Coral Sul FLNG in Samsung Heavy Industries shipyard in South Korea. We were/are part of the TJJV Technip/JGC joint venture operations team responsible for accepting at RFSU and operating/maintaining the facility until handover to ENI in 2023.
    Jheisson was integral to the process and he attended witness testing of loops & logic, assisted vendors (MCHE main cryogenic heat exchanger, & LNG loading arms), and witnessed/oversaw SIF loop testing.
    I find Jheisson an open & honest person and a valued team member. He frequently shared his knowledge of complex technical matters openly with the team by way of team posts, and weekly meeting presentations. Jheisson does work with a higher than normal technical ability for his job description making him an asset to any organisation, and I believe he could easily fulfill higher technical or managerial positions. His communication skills are very good & respectful; made evident from my observations of his interactions with vendors, peers, and line management.
    Jheisson performed over & above his job description by preparing a report on the critical use valves within the main cryogenic heat exchanger circuit. Information that will prove valuable for the safe and efficient start-up of Coral FLNG. He is also fully conversant with Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) demonstrated by his team presentation and support for the team in the field.
    In summing up, I would definitely recommend Jheisson to any organisation as a valued team member.
