Summary
I am a goal orientated leader determined to succeed in quality, safety, and performance. I have proficient skills with Navis works, I-Hawk, excel, and Microsoft. 19 years of experience in management & supervisory roles. I hold extensive knowledge in piping and mechanical systems while working on new construction, maintenance and shut down environments in sectors such as: oil & gas, pulp & paper, processing plants and mining. Skilled in planning and execution, coaching and mentoring a safety culture. I am currently looking to expand my career as a piping superintendent / general foreman, coordinator or planner. I hold a certificate in project management and currently am managing a team of 400+ pipefitters, millwrights and boilermakers at LNG Canada. One of my highlights of the project was planning and executing scope on underground water, drainage systems moving to above ground stick built, modular piping systems, and completing the gas inlet tie-in to the Coastal Gaslink pipeline in KITIMAT BC.
