HANDELMAN
PROJECT ADMINISTRATOR
Qualifications
Handelman was a founder and CEO of two of today’s
premier offshore underwater contractors, Oceaneering International
and Cal Dive International.
With Handelman as CEO, Oceaneering became the largest
commercial diving contractor in the world, with over 1000
employees and operations in 24 countries. Oceaneering
also pioneered much of the deep-diving technology which
has become industry practice today. Oceaneering provided
oilfield services, government contracting, civil construction
works, saturation diving, remote-operated vehicles, and
one-atmosphere diving suits. Oceaneering also developed
its own engineering and oceanographic divisions. Under
Handelman's leadership, Oceaneering became a public company
and today is listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
In 1980, Handelman founded Cal Dive
International, Inc., an oil services contracting firm specializing
in construction engineering and underwater installations,
repairs and maintenance. Under Handelman's direction as
CEO, the company soon had its own saturation diving ships
and deepwater construction barges. Today Cal Dive has an
entire fleet of dynamic-positioning vessels accompanied
with the world’s most advanced robotics, down-holed
equipment and is the recognized leader in the ultra-deep
waters of the Gulf of Mexico – having completed projects
in over 5,000 feet of water depth. Cal Dive International,
CDIS, is listed on the NASDAQ exchange.
In recognition of his numerous contributions
to the diving industry, in 1999, Handelman was inducted
into the Offshore Energy Center Pioneers’ Hall of
Fame.
Following his retirement from the offshore
oil industry, Handelman returned to his original home base
in Santa Barbara, California. Handelman and Howorth founded
the Marine Mammal Consulting Group (MMCG). Since its start,
MMCG has played a very active role in a long series of mitigation
efforts for offshore industrial, military and government
projects. Handelman's responsibilities include contracting
and administration. His long history of work offshore, with
its constant ties to industry, makes Handelman an essential
member of the MMCG team. His understanding of the business
needs of such operations, coupled with his realistic grasps
of logistics, adds a vital element to the Marine Mammal
Consulting Group.
