Accomplishments

  • Professionalism: I possess quality client service skills and use professionalism and respectful language to convey accurate, clear communications and strive to promote and maintain a productive, safe and enjoyable work environment for all involved parties thereby earning and maintaining mutually acceptable & trustworthy relations within the public/private sectors
  • Safety: I have over 3000 personal accident free days in the oil industry and personally led a drill crew as driller to 1500 accident free operating days. I understand, appreciate and stress the importance of a safe but productive work environment for all involved parties. Was presented with a "Rare and Outstanding Achievement" award by the Alberta Government for personally working with and supervising all my crews at the time for my entire career to date to an accident free 3000 days in a high risk occupation. In turn my employer was then asked to afford and allow me to steward a "safety workshop" for various competing contractors in the oil sectors newly stressed safety consciousness infancy
  • Leadership: I held several supervisory positions including hiring, training, and evaluating staff, as well as coordinating and facilitating staff meetings and orientations and have numerous "record well" achievements and recognized as having achieved the drilling and completion of the first underbalanced well ever done in Canada. Was regularly asked to mentor, troubleshoot and organize fellow supervisors within companies of whom Im was employed. Experienced in being the prime contractors "on site field representative" and responsibilities and obligations it entails. Regularly saving on project time lines and and estimated costs.
  • Synergy: I have a proven ability to work collaboratively with other agencies and can work remotely, independently, asking questions for clarity, communicating with a team, ability to lead with little supervision. I have proven to be a responsible and reliable employee with self-motivation to improve my skills. I have strong leadership qualities which have always resulted in higher motivation, production and low employee turnover rates without compromising safety, from my crews. I have supervised and been responsible for cost management of numerous muti-million dollar equipment builds and oilfield projects for a variety of prime contractors very rarely exceeding budgets and in fact usually finding cost savings and increased productivity to save the prime contractors in both project duration times and project/build costs thereby increasing their flexibility for future/new endeavors.
