About

I have 10+ years of experience as a Electro/Mechanical/Hydraulic field technician in the oil and gas industry. A capable leaner with a strong hands on approach, I am ready to step in and make an immediate contribution to any new job opportunity. Additionally, I possess a working knowledge of Studio 5000, HMI (Scada software), Pro Link, and Allen Bradley. Given my strong work ethic and personable attitude, I have been fortunate to work in various international settings, giving me the ability to adapt to any work environment. Proficient in reading and analyzing electronic/hydraulic schematics as well as engineering drawings, mechanical and piping diagrams and blue prints, my commitment to excellence and exemplary job performance is a priority.
