Immediately Available: Experienced CWI with a Passion for Welding!

I have been a pipe fitter/ welder for twelve years. One of the most important lessons I've learned during this time is how to insure the production of quality and eye pleasing welds in a manner that is both safe and efficient for the customer. This area is not only where I excel as a pipe fitter/welder, but it is also the area I most enjoy. As an AWS CWI, I hope to continue to be in a position where I am able to implement the correct changes to ensure quality welding procedures. If I am inspecting welds and coaching welders, I am not only doing what comes naturally to me, I am also doing what I most enjoy.

I have had the pleasure of speaking with various CWI personnel in the field. The answers to the questions that I have asked regarding their careers as welding inspectors were all positive. This not only impressed me, but gave me the extra incentive to obtain my own CWI certification and to put my skills and knowledge to use. I would like the opportunity to discuss this position with you in detail, during a personal interview. I can be contacted at 712-309-1016 to make arrangements

Sincerely,

Stephen "Curt" Courtney

P.S. I'm sure you review several resumes each day. I hope mine will quickly show that my qualifications are a great match for this position!
