Summary
I worked floors for Energy Drilling Company for a year and a half. I used manual tongs, pulled slips, worked the Derrick while drilling, spinner hawks, repaired mud pumps, mixed mud, and anything the motor hand needed help with. I’m very strong minded and a real hard worker. I would be an asset to your company.
