Email Work ( ******@*****.***)

I have been employed throughout the Provinces of Canada on Projects associated with the Oil and Gas Industry for over 40 years.

I have held various positions of responsibility during my years working for Oil and Gas Corporations, Contractors and owned my own Construction Company during the 1980’s.

I possess knowledge and understanding gained throughout my career that has allowed me to successfully complete many pipeline and facility projects.

Thank you for your time in the reading of this resume. I look forward to your consideration of myself for consulting or inspection employment within your organization. My strong points are in organizing projects and multiple projects. Most of my projects, about 80% of them, I am also responsible for cost and quality control.

Sincerely,

Frank W. Thorne
