Summary

Hello my name is Damien Lorenz an i am an aboriginal Journeyman welder looking for work.

I've worked in many shutdowns and have put in many long hours in oilfield and welding shop settings. There are no restrictions with me in any oilfield sites including suncore, syncrude, CNRL Horizon Kearl Lake just to name a few.

Between the welding skill i possess and my work ethic, i believe that i would make a fine new edition to your company that would benefit us both.

I have done tough jobs that have built up my strong work ethic and also gave me a strong mechanical back ground. All of my safety tickets are up to date including my CWB.

if you have any questions please call or msg me at the phone number provided.
