Summary
Roughneck with a track record of enhancing team performance and operational efficiency at CWC Ironhand Drilling/Precision Drilling. I have spent most of my time in the oilfield at Ironhand Drilling on rig 1. Ironhand 1 has an outstanding reputation in the industry when it comes to efficiency and cleanliness. I enjoy my job as a roughneck however now that I know more about the industry, I believe I have many of the skills necessary and the right aptitude to excel in an MWD career. Many of the skills I learned while doing my bba involved working with IT related technology or solving mathematical equations. These skills would translate well to the technical side of things when it comes to programming the tool while the skills I learned on the rig would translate to the hands on part of the job. I have experience working motors but on my main crew I work as a roughneck. I am hardworking, driven and good at working with a team.
