Summary

I am a dedicated and driven NDE Technician with 4+ years of experience in and out of refineries. Whilst I am still young in both age and career, I have risen from the status of assistant to a Site Supervisor quickly and would like to continue to make the most of my aspirations to rise as high as possible in the field of inspection. My career goals are to gain as much field experience as possible to one day go into project management/upper level management to help other young technicians grow their careers and expand their aspirations in our field. level two certified in CR Profile (Computed Radiography), UTT (Ultrasonic Thickness Testing), MT (Magnetic Particle Testing), PT (Liquid Penetrant Testing). Level 1 certified RT Code (Radiography Testing). I also have my IRRSP card (Industrial Radiography Radiation Safety Personnel). My current aspirations are to test out for my API 510 and 570, with hopes to get my API 653 certification after some experience with 570 and 510 work. I am currently looking for a company that will allow me to travel for Turnaround work as I would like to make the most of my youth and work as many hours as possible.
