Objective Work as a Field Service Technician or in any other

related field.

Experience SCADA Technician

February 1, 2002-September 30, 2009 GeoMet

Operating, Birmingham, AL

Design and maintain a radio system for data

collection using spread spectrum radios in a

coalbed methane gas field. I also have some

experience working with the new Ethernet radios.

The two gas fields I worked in had radio systems

with comm. stats at around 60%. I improved both

systems, bringing them both up to 96 to 98% on the

comm. stats. I also designed, built and implemented

an interface to replace an existing FCU with a

newer model allowing us to use the existing remote

motor control equipment already on site saving the

company at least $1000.00 for each FCU changeover.

I worked with the field superintendent to implement

a program to put our variable frequency drives on

timer control, saving thousands of dollars a month

on the power bill.

Experienced in troubleshooting VFD and electric

motor problems, I have worked with controls for the

remote operation of pump jack motors, and have a

wide experience in the electrical maintenance

field.
