What does your Resume look like?
I'm 10 years experienced and looking for an overseas role in the Gas and Oil Industry; weather it being a Well Testing Engineer, Well Testing Supervisor, Field Supervisor or Office Employment. I also would like to get into Completions Engineering or something completely new if someone would take me under their wing. I'm hoping to find a company that will give me the opportunity to continue to expand my knowledge in the Gas and Oil Industry. I’m a very quick learner, a great problem solver and extremely hard working. I have no problem working for long hours and months at a time. I know that sometimes finding the qualified relief for the job cannot always be found on time for the specified working rotations which poses no problem to me. My longest consecutive days worked is 101 averaging 17.5 hours per day. I have an easy going personality and get along with others quite well. I find treating other onsite personnel with respect increases the job performance. This saves time and we all know that time equals money. I’m good at teaching and like to share my knowledge of what I have learned over the years in my career with others in order to benefit them with their careers. I have a very high personal level of HSE which is very important. I have not had any lost time accidents from the beginning of my career in the Gas and Oil industry up to date and wish to keep it this way. This includes myself and the employees working under my supervision. I also do not believe in over charging for my services rendered as I have noticed people of today want to be paid more money than they are actually worth. I always give 110% of my effort and abilities to the company I am working for. This is why I should be considered for an employment opportunity within your company.
