Skillful in a work environment that demands proficiency in focus, safety, adaptability, multitasking and prioritizing. Perform dozens of tests compliant with the American Society for Testing and Materials(ASTM) and Municipal/Industrial Strategies for Abatement(MISA). Analyze samples that include finished gasoline, diesel, jet, asphalt, heavy fuel oil, propane and propylene as well as mid-process, by product and wastewater samples. Carry out testing using various analytical instruments and wet chemistry techniques, verified by intensive quality control monitoring to ensure precision. Instrument types used include Octane Engines, Gas Chromatography Instruments, Optical Emission Spectrometer and AutoAtmospheric Distillation kits to measure fuel octane level, chemical composition, metals and atmospheric distillation respectively. Maintain lab inventory through solution praperations, expire date monitoring and frequent inspections.In addition to base business, examine test method compliance against ASTM, engage in loss prevention safety programs and play a leadership role in aiding new hires. Adept at managing duties effectively enabling time to specialize work knowledge and contribute to cutting lab costs by bringing third party testing in house.Through my experience I have excelled in working with others, troubleshooting unexpected problems and managing demanding work loads.

Responsible for testing various water samples from the onsite wastewater treatment plant and process units. Conducted test method and handling practices compliant with the Municipal/Industrial Strategy for Abatement protocol for the wastewater effluent samples. Instruments used included an Atomic Absorption Spectrometer(ASS) by flame, a Technicon Continuous Flow AutoAnalyzer and a Total Organic Carbon(TOC) analyzer to measure metals, phenol and organic carbon levels respectively. Methods used involved daily calibrations and quality control(QC) monitoring to ensure accurate readings.Excelled in managing a heavy workload of testing while maintaining testing accuracy, lab inventory, safe practices and a clean work environment. This was accomplished with efficient multitasking and prioritizing.

Reservist for the 4th Battalion Royal Canadian Regiment(4RCR) stationed at Wolseley Barracks in London Ontario. Balanced school and work with army training up to Infantry Qualification and rank of Corporal. Proficient in a very disciplined environment with strict standards on timings, drills, dress attire and rank structure while demanding high physical and mental endurance. Trained in the use and cleaning of Canadian Forces weaponry including rifles, machine guns, grenades and explosive weapons. Participated in many war scenarios that involved navigating, reconnaissance, base camping, trench digging, winter camping as well as platoon and brigade level assaults with emphasis on team tactics.

Worked as part of a stack testing team contributing in various duties in the field at various sites including nickel mines, refineries and rubber production facilities. Equipment was setup for projects that included Continuous Emissions Monitoring(CEM) and Relative Accuracy Test Audits(RATA). Essential equipment used consisted of heated lines, pitot tubes, chilled glassware condensor tubes and thermocouple to measure CEM, viscosity, moisture content and temperature respectively. Assisted in ensuring continues gas sample flow from source to analyzers by cleaning, preventing leaks and maintaining equipment while traversing up and down stacks and process units. Adhered to the safety standards of every site visited with no incident.
