Summary

Motivated and experienced HWO field supervisor/operator looking to get back into the industry. I bring 10+ years of HWO and related experience to the table. From -55 to +50deg C, i have worked in it all. I am a team player with a hands on approach to teaching. I am a fast learner and im not scared to ask questions. I appreciate challenges and complex issues and rise to meet them, weather it be mechanical, hydraulic, electrical or whatever happens that day.

I respect the cultures and people of the different countries i have worked in over the years and the many challenges language alone can bring.
