Maintained the grounds around the shops, office, and pipe yard, including mowing, weed eating,
brush hogging, and pipe yard maintenance.
Loaded, unloaded, sorted pipe on and off of the pipe racks and float trailers, and thread treated
pins and collars of production tubing. Helped construct and plumb tank batteries, along with
wellheads, set up of separators and production tanks.

Skills
I have intermediate operating skills on most machinery found around the job site. My job duties
include operating machinery on a regular basis, from farm tractors to light and heavy equipment. I
am a very quick learner, and I consider myself a hands-on type of person, but I also enjoy the mental
challenge of a project. I work well with other people, and I am very self-motivated. I find
engineering and math problems fun to solve, and enjoy learning about the vast and growing field of
oil and natural gas.
