Advanced to P-4. Current job duties include contractor management, drawing review, and project design signoff. Other duties include parts ordering, and design assistance with engineering. I am also currently involved with the ID1 I&C design, helping Curt Lake with design questions and research. I completed all of the classes required to qualify for the advancement, so I am hoping that puts me in a good position for future job opportunities.

Advanced to a P-3. More time is spent on admin and supervision, and not working with tools in the field. More time is spent on mentoring and leading. More time is spent with engineering and special projects. Doing more QC on new buildings and systems being installed by outside contractors on site.

Moved to a P-2 coordinator position. Began to use the tools less, and worked more on supervision of contractor work. Working more with engineering to aide with design and comissioning.

• I was hired by Scott Alcorn as an Instrumentation Technician.
• Responsibilities included doing basic instrumentation work.

• Repaired broken equipment both electrically and mechanically.
• Did the calibrations on all of the Rosemount transmitters across site. Including pressure, temperature, and flow.
• When not busy, we would help the mechanics with rebuilding valves, gear boxes, and some welding.
