About me:
I am 26 years old, I’ve worked in the Industry for the last 8 years. I began working large Industrial new construction projects. I did that for a few years, then I moved onto working turn arounds. While working turnarounds, I took classes for my process tech degree. I graduated December 2020 and began working for INEOS in January 2021. I have been an Operator in an Olefins unit ever since.
With my time in the industry I have acquired extensive knowledge and the ability to trouble shoot equipment such as: Furnaces, Exchangers, Pumps, Turbines, reactors, Distillation columns, boilers, cooling towers and instrumentation such as transmitters and Control Valves. I have a great understanding on how to safely clear equipment, LOTO equipment, and operate a DCS system.
