I'm a Diesel truck and heavy equipment mechanic/ heavy equipment operator. I've been with a fuel and oil tranport company here in NW Indiana. Recently I left a job working for a trucking company that hauled sand,slag,and gravel in those 40 ft long frameless dumps and quadaxles. I'm currently looking for work now.Aside from looking for work, all this spare time has me on this site (which is a bad influence on my bank account )

I am currently a senior in high school in a work/study program. so i have 4 classes then i go to work at a heavy equipment shop. I love diesel's and mechanic work but i am taking a level 1 ultrasonics test in march to be a Nondestructive tech but after 3 years i will take a test to be a API 510 inspector. I have a job lined up after school in a refinery in the US virgen islands. So 2 days after graduation i get on a plane and start working for the rest of my life.............Jamie

 

Currently shop foreman for diesel repair shop with 26 technicians to keep in line, also keep my A&P FAA license current for working on aircrafts.

 

My title is H2S Lead Safety Supervisor. Need me up there Gene? You likely have seasoned crews. Probably more money than what I'm doing on land.

For all others, I basically try to ensure that crews don't kill themselves or me by doing something galactically stupid when working on or with potentially sour gas in the drilling and completion oilfield industry. My last job was a nightmare. They tried putting a heavy oil service rig crew on a sour gas completion - they tried to unbolt the welhead prior to killing the well first. I never took my SCBA off my back during my shift for two weeks - not to mention the crew were pot and coke heads. And after getting everyone trained and flanged up (completion supervisor skidded the druggies), they sent relief for me yesterday - now he's got it easy after the hard stuff is done. Go figure.

On Edit: All I really want to do is figure a way to get paid for hunting, fishing, quadding, and snowmobiling the rest of my life. And spend time in between with a sweet woman smarter than a corner fence post on the farm.
