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
