Underground diamond driller for Cabo drilling in Albania.

I drilled on five different projects surface and underground.

I worked at five different projects at my time with Cabo drilling. All of them were in the country of Albania.

This experience allowed me to realize the importance of overcoming many obstacles at work and how to go about accomplishing whatever task was at hand safely and continuing to complete all jobs and responsibilities that were involved in expat drilling in other countries.
