Instrument & Controls Technician with over 20 years of service in industrial facilities including petro-chem, power generation, fine chemicals production, and oil refining.
Skills include troubleshooting and solving instrument and controls issues. Most recently worked as A repair and calibration service technician for a major instrument manufacturing company. This position gave me A much broader experience background in the operation and repair of many types of measurement devices used to measure flow, level, pressure, and temperature. I have extensive experience in control valve diagnostics and repair as part of my training and experience. I have worked in several maintenance positions as well as new installation and start-up positions which has been very valuable to me and my former employers.
I am 55 years old and looking for A potential employer that can offer me A position equal to my skills and background. I tend to fit well with whatever environment or team I am A part of. I believe my strong personal suit is that I am non-controversial and easy to engage on a professional and personal level. I consider myself A very personable and likable person as I have been part of many teams and always managed to become an integral part of them while developing long term friendships and working relationships.
