Accomplishments

I have extensive Supervisory, QC and field experience managing crews of up to 75 employees and subcontractors in some of the harshest environments of northern Canada.

Many of these locations were accessible only by helicopter which required that all piping spools be pre-fabricated, inspected and hydro-tested prior to being flown to location for installation.

I believe this experience along with my years of field welding have given me a unique skill set for evaluating a job site and determining what is able to be pre-fabricated and what welding must be done on location.
