In 2012 I started at Essential as a Lead Coil Operator. I was responsible for driving coil rigs from location to location. The rig I drove was a tri drive C 500 with a 24 wheel jeep, the rig was on a 24 wheel trailer and a jeep that had 16 wheels. I was responsible for rigging the rig onto various types of well heads and operating the rig with three rig hands. I took orders from the rig manager as well as the tool hand and On Site Rep for various energy companies across Alberta and northern BC.

In 2014 I moved up to Rig Manager where I was responsible for a masted coil tubing rig along with all the support gear then went along with it including a picker, a high pressure, high rate fluid pumper and a support tractor / trailer that hauled our BOPs and lubricators. I was responsible for the safe operation of the rig and ensuring our operation were within OH&S regulations. I completed all safety documentation and performed various types of drills with my crew to ensure they were ready if something ever went wrong. I was responsible for maintaining my rig with strict maintenance procedures and documentation. I was responsible for my crew even when I was on time off to ensure they were fit for duty and staying within OH&S regulations at all times.

In 2016 I was promoted to Field Superintendent where my responsibilities greatly increased. I was responsible for five coil tubing rigs along with the people that operated them. I mainly dealt with the rig managers but ultimately I was responsible for all 120 people that worked under me. I worked closely with engineers to ensure we were sending the proper equipment to service our customers needs. I was responsible for hiring new employees, discipline employees and at times, terminating employees. I conducted regular rig inspections both on site and at our yard with rigorous check lists during and prior too going to a job. I was on call 24/7 to support my team at anytime of the day or night. If there was a incident I was trained on investigating and creating a report on what happened and how to avoid it from happening again. I was responsible for SOP's (standard operating procedures) and keeping them current as the industry changed. I was responsible for ensuring all my rigs had a competent crew and that they all stayed within hours of service.

I was responsible for mobilizing various types of hot oilers (body jobs and tractor trailers) from the base to location. Rigging in and pumping hydrocarbons down a well under extreme heat and high pressure. Our main job was de waxing wells that were in production that had plugged off.

I ran high pressure pumps for frac support.
