I am looking for a career based in operating heavy equipment and possibly management. I have been employed as both a heavy equipment operator and as a supervisor/superintendent.
I installed gas lines ranging from 1" poly lines for residential, up to 30" steel pipe for pipelines. I also did station work, from building them to demoing them. I mostly ran excavators of all sizes for ditching, lowering in pipe, and backfilling. I ran dozers to cut in right of ways and winch others on steep hills on pipeline jobs. Skid steers were mainly for moving materials and dressing up small stations. Telahandlers were more for loading/unloading trailers and to hang pieces of pipe. I also bolted up and torqued flange settings when needed. I would fuse poly pipe on some jobs by butt fusion, socket fusion, and electro fusion.
