RE: Field Operator
Please accept this letter and attached resume as formal application to your company for the position of Field Operator. .
I work as an Drilling Fluid Technician with specialty in drilling fluids . My work experience includes working as an Environmental Technician at Norwest Labs Lethbridge for 2 years and an Environmental Consultant /Drilling Fluid Specialist in the oil industry for the past ten years. I attended Water Based Drilling Fluids School with Qmax Solutions in house. My primary focus was monitoring drilling fluids, signing land and water contracts with land owners, taking inventory of chemicals/chemical sales and conducting safety meetings, safety reports of drilling rigs in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Although challenging, it was an excellent way to showcase my excellent communication, coordinating, and organizational skills.

I did chemical inventory/sales, field testing of soils, water, drilling fluids and sumps, monitoring land spreading, monitoring water usage, mapping, hazard assessments, safety coordinating and facilitating of safety meetings.
