What I'm looking for
I am a versatile, safety-driven maintenance and operations professional with over 20 years of experience across energy, industrial, and facility environments. I combine strong mechanical aptitude with advanced organizational and technical abilities to support both field and office operations.
I have planned, coordinated, and executed multi-well and infrastructure projects, overseen vendor performance and logistics, and managed schedules, budgets, and deliverables using project-tracking tools. I have experience compiling and analyzing production and shift data to inform engineering and management decisions.
My hands-on background includes facility and grounds maintenance, electrical troubleshooting, forklift operation, coil tubing and flowback operations, and hazardous-environment protocols such as H2S and respirator use. I am recognized for reliability, clear communication, and improving operational performance and safety.
I seek to bring practical field experience, data-driven analysis, and dependable project coordination to a team focused on safe, efficient operations and continuous improvement.
