I started with NAIS as a field Supervisor and was almost immediately was made operations manager. Some of my job responsibilities were to perform job site visits for the purpose of safety compliance audits, employee field performance evaluation, proper equipment operation, and proper job documentation; performs shutdown planning; communicates with customers to schedule work, receive purchase orders numbers, monitor customers’ satisfaction, address problems, and gain new opportunities for the company; maintains stocks: consumables, water blasting supplies, and vacuum supplies (can approve emergency purchases only); trains and mentors new employees; direct oversight of equipment to include: readiness, cleanliness, pre/post trip inspections, equipment accessory status and that DOT log books are maintained accurately.

I started out as a laborer on a road crew based out of West Virginia. Worked approx. six months on the road crew and was asked to move to Mooresville, NC to help establish a shop in that area. I worked at that office for five years, and as a part of that office, helped take it from a quarter million dollars the first year to 2.5 million when I left. During this time I learned to troubleshoot and repair, operate, perform all preventive maintenance, effectively setup and use all field equipment, to include, but not limited to; Ace Super sucker vacuum trucks, Guzzler Classic Vacuum Trucks, Guzzler NX Vacuum Truck, NLB, Partek, Butterworth, Jetstream, and American 10 and 20k pumps, and Jet Edge, Jetstream, NLB, and Admac 32, 36, and 40k UHP pumps. During this time I moved from a technician to a crew leader/site manager position. In my time at Onyx I served as an account manager for DuPont May Plant in Camden, SC. I took care of all scheduling, ordering of safety and all other equipment, controlling OT, and responsibility for P&L and margins for this account for almost two years. In that time we never had an accident onsite and had very few safety issues. For anyone who knows DuPont’s stringent safety program, or the PP18(what eventually became the water blast standard for all petro and chemical plants), this is an amazing feat. We also remained profitable the entire time we had this account. I also planned/ran countless outages at refineries, chemical plants, paper mills, steel mills, and nuclear/hydro/and fossil fuels power generating stations. In the five years I was at Onyx I never had a recordable incident, and never had a crew member injured.
