Was hired for training and orientation of new hires. Training focused on DOT regulations, API standards, company policies, safety policies, and tablet training. Also performed orientations for customers of Endeavor energy as a third party. Certified hydrogen sulfide safety instructor. Performed remedial training for drivers who were lacking in knowledge and/or safety issues. As a field supervisor it was my function to ensure drivers are following API standards and all safety protocols. It also includes ensuring required permits, registrations, and ticketing are current and up to date. To enhance efficiency in scheduling and production totals I utilize (both build and maintain) several excel spreadsheets. Work closely with corporate staff in planning and recruiting new individuals to expand the business. Maintain relationships with marketers, production supervisors, and field operators.

Managing drivers, ensuring API standards are implemented, measurement, lact closeouts and shakeouts. Maintaining records, quality control, and performing remedial training when necessary.

Perform pre-trip, inter-trip and post-trip inspections of tractor and trailer. Load gasoline at various refineries and deliver them to convenience stores. Responsible for training new hires.

Kill wells, pressure test Frac Valves and other down-hole tools, as well as pressure testing wellheads.

Stand-along cementer on an off-shore rig off the coast of Louisiana. Calculated numbers for all cement jobs and testing jobs performed on the rig, including, surface pipes, long-strings, squeeze jobs, testing BOP's, and any other job needed down-hole for the company. Worked closely with the consultants on-site to ensure that quality work was performed. I also generated field tickets and ordered all supplies that were needed on the rig.

Cementer on land rigs. Calculated numbers needed for all jobs, such as, surface pipes, intermediate pipe, long-strings, squeeze, and plug jobs. Managed a crew, trained them when needed, and also certified new employees for the company to ensure they were qualified to drive heavy equipment trailers by written and road tests. Worked closely with consultants to ensure each job was done in 100% compliance with original job procedures. When changes were needed on location, I would work with the company men to make the changes necessary. Operated a cement pump that was mounted on tractor/ trailer, drove bulk cement trucks and acid transports. I left this job due to the inferior equipment we were force to work with.

Cementer of land rigs. Made calculations relating to amount of cement needed, water, any chemicals, hole geometries. Cemented every string of pipe including liners, plugs, and squeeze jobs and whipstocks. Also, had many opportunities to be directly involved with Foamed Cement on surface pipes and long-strings, working closely with Engineers in making all calculations and verifying that all the correct pumping equipment was on location as well as working with third-party crews to also verify they had the proper equipment on location to manage the flowback of fluids. Furthermore, I have extensive experience in multiple-stage cement jobs where hydraulic "dv" tools were used and when packers were used downhole. Managed crew of pump operators and was responsible for making sure the correct cement and quantity of cement was on location to perform jobs. I trained new pump operators and Superviosor trainees. I also had the opportunity to train new engineers who were new in the field. Rebuilt valves, basic maintenance to the pump truck. Went to Duncan, OK for Halliburton's Cementing II and Live Fire classes. Passed each class with high honors. Live Fire was a class that was dedicated to problem solving and designing new cement jobs from "the ground up". I really enjoyed those classes and enjoy learning new techniques. Operated cement pumps that was mounted on tractor/trailer, bulk cement trucks, and acid transports.
