I would love to work in the Quality Control Inspection industry. I'm good with numbers and math was my major in high school and when I went to ITT Technical Institute for (CAD) Computer Aided Drafting. I didn't finish college because of financial reasons but I plan on furthering my education once I get some stability with a job. I've got 3 years' experience in Quality Control Inspection using calipers and height gauges. I'm a fast learner and an excellent observer of detail. At my job at Grant Prideco my crew set a record for most drill pipe inspected on a night shift. I have been certified through General Electric as a Level 2 Visual Inspector. I worked for Tenaris for 11 months and that's who gave me my certification through General Electric. I have about 2 years in total as being a lead for different employers. Willing to relocate: Anywhere
