- Adjust conveyors, tighten belts, replace electric motors, and hoist them to the ground by crane depending on location, along with replacing the whole scrap bark bin that collected and discarded all the bark from the logs below the knives by torching all the sheets out using oxy-acetylene and measuring with squares and tape measures for the dimensions of the sheets that had to be brought along and hoisted into place, then welded in.

Floorhand
Patterson-UTI
Saint Clairsville
09.2024 - 03.2025
- As a floor hand at Patterson UTI I did daily PM's on the drilling rig making sure are blow out protector would pressure test in case we had a well blowout and we could close it in, i greased are top drive that ran are drill pipe in the ground, i had to cut and replace drill string to ensure are top drive cables that ran it up and down from the draw works wasn't frayed or about to snap, we had to walk the drilling rig to the next well by nippling down are BOP and moving it with a telehandler to the next well and climb it and rehook are safety cables to it, I had to assemble BHA "bottom hole assembly" so the directional driller could point us towards the well we were drilling towards, I had to tighten drill collars and build stands of pipe under a time crunch so the driller didn't have to wait on us to continue drilling, I've had days where we never got a break in 0 degree temps tripping pipe out of the well so we could run casing to finish the well out

Laborer
Miller Pipeline
Escanaba
05.2022 - 05.2023
- I had to spot utilities with a shovel ahead of the excavator operator or bore operator, watch pipe get pulled back to make sure it wasent stretching, be the eyes in the hole for the operator so he wouldn’t hit the gas main or other utility’s in the way, I had to stretch and pull hose out to shoot a “hog” an air powered missile that shoots itself under ground to the area where you need the pipe to pop out, I had to load and unload machinery at the job site and chain them down also.
