Position sought: Fluids Engineer/Mud Engineer
I am a tri-lingual, motivated professional seeking employment in the energy industry as a drilling fluids engineer. Growing up in an international environment, influenced by European parents and the United States (US) educational system, allows me to adapt easily to varying personal and professional environments and cultures. I am fluent in English, German and Slovenian, including verbal and written communication. I have pursued my passion for the sciences in various states throughout the US and internationally; during the oil boom in the Permian Basin, within the environmental/geotechnical industry in California, a master’s degree in Aberdeen, and as a drilling fluids engineer in the North Sea. I have a proven ability to oversee projects on oil platforms, construction sites, refineries, power plants, and cement plants. Oversight includes primary responsibility for all safety protocols, management, and operations. With my international and diverse professional background, I strive to establish a strong and lasting career in the European energy markets as a fluids engineer.
