  • Perform rig/facility assessment of crew/leadership performance, interaction and operational discipline.
  • Facilitate rig/facility Culture Surveys to assess the current safety climate within the organization.
  • Facilitate Leadership Round Table discussions to address management of change, risk mitigation, leadership principles and CRM topics.
  • Provide relevant feedback to platform/facility leadership on Continuous Improvement strategy.
  • Provide executive level after-action reviews/reports at client request or as regularly scheduled.
  • Demonstrate proper planning, briefing and debriefing techniques.
  • Develop training materials, presentations and reports.
  • Provide translation services as required.
  • Assist CEO, CSO, VP Operations and Marketing Manager with recommendations for Continuous Improvement of CAVU products and services.
  • Other duties as assigned by the CAVU Operations, Country Manager, Client Manager, Project Manager or Lead Coach when on a platform, facility, or other location.

  • Bachelor's Degree


Desired Experience


  • 25+ years military service including:
  • Achieving senior officer/non-commissioned officer level rank
  • Command of a squadron-size unit or higher
  • Previous professional executive consulting/mentoring/coaching experience

Required Skills

  • Ability to interact affably, tactfully and persuasively with people at all levels from leadership to the deck plates and from diverse backgrounds/cultures
  • Working technical knowledge/aptitude with computers and audio-visual equipment
  • Exceptional Listening skills
