Summary

I am responsible for permitting jobs, clearing and isolating equipment safely and overseeing jobs over my equipment. I also have experience from completing a turnaround at PDH, where I got to see jobs like reactor screen replacement, clearing boiler feed water pumps, overhaul on compressors, clearing holding drums and replacing filters to multiple exchangers and pumps.

I have been part of multiple jobs, clearing and returning back to service multiple pieces of equipment including tail gas compressors, boiler feed water pump to our steam system, and multiple PSV's, and was over a caustic injection job and a media change out on one of our dryers. I pride myself on being a hard worker and strive to continue doing my job safely.
