Resume:
Objective
Obtain a professional position in the welding field as a Welding Project
Engineer, Senior Welding Engineer or Supplier Technical Expert. Having 35
years of experience in the welding field has made me a very diverse welding
engineer. Starting from the floor and working my way up has always been a
strategy as welding is my passion.
Below is a list summation of some of the things I have to offer as over the
years I have accumulated very much training and experience. Due to our
economic situation in this country, at this time I have not been able to
find a employer that is capable of supporting career employees. Therefore
some of my certifications have lapsed, and are not current.
Summation
Versatile welding engineer, 25 years of pressure vessel inspection "hands
on inspection" and, "hands on welding" experienced in many fields of
welding starting with;
Nuclear Power Generation Station Pressure Piping Pressure
Vessel Inspection Structural Steel
Performing "hands on welding" welding instruction welding
inspection NDE research/auditing
Casting Salvage and Repair NDE on Castings NDE on
Piping and Fabrication
Certification Verification Procedures
Processes
Automation Automated Fixtures Robotics'
Manufacturing Processes
Additional 15 years, experience in Welding Automation as a team member
for "Fortune 100, and Fortune 500" automotive suppliers and with an heavy
emphasis in automation, manufacturing, and management.
. Experienced in many environments and with many different materials,
which has given me a wide respect for the different grades of
stainless steel, steels, and aluminum and different both manual and
automation manufacturing methods.
. Experienced in a very diverse welding environment, from generator
welders on pipeline to High tech welding processes in a fabrication
shop or manufacturing facility.
. Experienced at managing several welding personnel, and beginning
welding engineers during programming and installation of welding
automation, for manufacturing practices.
. Experienced at pipeline work, and petrochemical welding in
facilities
