Drilling Manager

Objective

• Major Construction Coordinator / Drilling Manager

I have accumulated over 20 years of knowledge and experience as a Construction Coordinator in the Major Construction Industry, and as a Drilling Rig Manager in the Oil and Gas Exploration Industry. I spent the initial years of my working career in the Drilling and Piling Industry working my way up from Labourer/Roughneck to managing major Drilling/Civil/Piling Projects both in Local and International locations. This previous experience has helped me excel into Construction Coordination and Superintendent roles in the Major Construction Industry, and since then I have participated in the safe and successful completion of numerous major projects in the Fort MacMurray area in Northern Alberta and also in Northern BC. In the future, I’m hoping for more challenging Construction Coordination and Management positions in all fields and trades. My main goal is to manage large-scale Oil and Gas Construction Projects in Local and International locations. Best Regards,

Marty Gross.
