Summary
A dedicated employee in the industrial sandblasting and coating industry for over 10 years, ensuring jobs were completed to the highest degree of quality and safety. I have strived to do the very best job from day one and in doing so I earned the position of Quality Control Manager, due to attention to detail and the amount of effort put into the work being performed to ensure it is done correctly. Although I do not have much experience with the operation of process equipment, I am a fast learner and I put forth my best effort in everything I do. I want to learn all that I can and I feel like I could be an excellent addition to the team at Kinder Morgan.
