Summary
With over 10 years of experience as a Field Operator, I’ve worked on everything from traditional tank batteries and wellheads to modern facilities in West and East Texas. I started with limited experience but quickly mastered pumping operations and became a reliable team member. Before field operations, I spent over 2 years in pipeline construction, starting as a roustabout hand and advancing to crew pusher and heavy equipment operator. This hands-on experience gave me a comprehensive understanding of the entire pipeline process. Additionally, I worked for 3 years with an electrical/lightning protection company, where I gained valuable knowledge of electrical systems. This experience enhanced my ability to troubleshoot automation issues in my field operations role. Overall, my diverse background and hands-on learning across different companies have made me a well-rounded and effective Field Operator.
