I am interested in a Pipeline Inspection or Pipeline Integrity position. Since September of 2007 my primary area of expertise has been Pipeline Radiography. I have done Inspection work in over half the states in the U.S. since then. I also spent a year on an Arctic Island above Alaska working BP’s North Slope. I am used to working long hours in adverse conditions. I have contracted some specialized None Destructive Testing work for companies including, but not limited to, International Paper, Coca-Cola, NASA, Detroit Edison, Chesapeake, Eaton Aerospace, and the M1 Abrams Tank Plant in Lima, Ohio. I have been a Team Leader or Field Project Coordinator on many jobs, and I am open to learning with any new opportunity.
