I dismantle, clean, and rebuild machine components. When called upon for help by the machine operators i have to trouble shoot and replace parts if needed. Perform change overs, getting the machine ready for the next product.

our highest priority task is working the rig floor, disconnecting drill string with tongs while tripping in and out of the hole and making mouse hole connections or laying singles down the ramp. while tripping we performed flow checks and slip & cuts. Duties while not on the rig floor involved cleaning invert/mud & grime off all the surfaces of the rig for example mud tanks, bop stack and the cellar, crawl space,rig floor, tool house, dog house, motor rooms, boiler rooms, mud can, pretty much everywhere. organizing and maintaining the tool house, measuring drill string, removing thread protectors, clearing debries out of the pipes. keeping the matings outside clear of snow and ice. rig down rig up, grinding and re painting surfaces. keeping the lease organized and garbage free. assisting the derrick and motor hand with their duties when needed. my passed experience on the rigs taught me how to become a good multi tasker.
