Mwd Division Manager
Conroe, Tx
During my time as manager, I was instrumental in growing the company’s MWD department from a 12 project capacity to a nearly 60 project capacity, in five locations around the US. I developed a great team of MWD Coordinators that oversee the work for offices in Houston, West TX, WY, WV, and OK - using the policies and practices I created. I oversaw interviewing, hiring, and training of MWD Operators to become proficient with various wellbore surveying hardware/software suites, plus geology evaluation software. Managed payroll of all MWD Department employees. Also ensured field employee utilization was optimized with regards to days/month and skillset/customer needs. Helped to develop strategies for managing system performance in challenging drilling environments such as the Haynesville, Bakken, and Eagle Ford areas. Worked alongside executive management and the CFO to create quarterly financial statements and budgets for the MWD Department. Used Microsoft Office to create Meantime Between Failure (MBTF) reports, product offering presentations, historical performance graphs/spreadsheets, and failure analyses to present to customers. I often supported salesmen in customer meetings by providing technical support, planned problem resolutions, and to describe/explain reports to the audience. During this time, I also spent about six months managing MWD Tech room and inventory department staff.
