I have spent the last 22 years working in the oil and gas industry. The 18 with Sun Well Service. I started at Sun with just shy of a years experience. I worked my way up the ladder from floor hand, derrick hand, relief operator, operator to rig manager. I spent the last 10 years at Sun as a rig manager. My main goal on a daily basis is to send the crew home the way the showed up. No incidents or accidents. Safety is my 1st concern. I like to spend a lot of time out of my pick up working with the crew. Training them on running the equipment as safely and efficiently as possible. I like working with the consultants to make sure the job goes as planned. I like helping the crew move the equipment needed to do the job in and out of the work area. Help keep the work area clean and clear of slips, trips and falls. Rig and equipment maintenance is a must to keep the job on tract and the customer happy.
