Accomplishments
I have received multiple SRA's in my career with Shell.
The biggest would be, at Convent. A brand new expander was installed by Dresser. During start up it over heated due to a drain port not being drilled. I used drawings to manufacture a Jig to drill in place. In turn kept the company from pulling the whole case. This saved the company 100K's of dollars of down time.
