Coley Norris
Overview
I have worked in the blasting and painting industry since 1995. I worked 8 years with companies at the Port of Iberia, and have extensive experience working on and with drilling derricks, offshore platforms, lift boats and pipe yards. I spent 9 years working offshore within the Shell Maintenance and Integrity Painting program. I worked my way from a blaster/ painter to relief foreman and then supervisor. I am currently NACE Level 1 Certified with plans to receive NACE 2 and 3 followed by a CWI certificate.
