Summary

I have a wide ranging skill set due in no small part to working with some very skilled coworkers and mentors throughout my pipeline construction career. Over the past 25 years, I have gotten to work on a number of very interesting projects in all parts of Western Canada. I have worked on Mainline, Plant construction and Utility projects with various types and sizes of pipe and equipment. I have managed crews or run sidebooms on HDPE Fusing projects, Fiberglass bonding and traditional Pipeline welding projects. I have worked on jobs working with pipe sizes ranging from 2" to 60"

I am a focused Foreman considered to be effective in planning, assigning and directing work tasks. A dedicated team player committed to maintaining safe, clean job sites, I am pursuing a role where hard work and dedication will be highly valued.

I am an adaptable supervisor and pipeline professional who is practiced at adjusting to changing specifications by evaluating orders and updating procedures to meet new targets. Results-driven and forward-thinking in checking forecasts and orders for new directives. Excellent supply management and resource utilization abilities.

I am known for smoothly directing employees to carrying out various construction operations to safely achieve demanding production goals and schedules. Driven leader with excellent analytical, decision-making and project management abilities. I strive to maintain employee focus and achieve quality targets with hands-on supervision.
