Chemical Inspector · SGS North America
Houston, TXIn My Own Words
I've been working in the oil and gas industry with SGS North America for a few years now and have enjoyed it very much. I have become a shift lead and trusted by my supervisors that whatever task comes my way will get done in a timely manner.Trained and certified in working around hazardous chemicals. I would like to say that I work very well with others which has led to being able to create and inspire ideas coming from myself and other individuals that work around me. Yet, I am perfectly fine with working alone on projects and know how to motivate myself while keeping focused on the task. Being a leader is a must in my field and I strongly believe in being open minded and being open to other ideas.You also learn very quickly in my field of work that time and efficiency is everything. I am comfortable with having deadlines and I'd say being under pressure pushes me harder to exceed the task while also being able to pay close attention to detail. Aside from work i have a 7 year old boy and 3 year old daughter that are awesome! I enjoy going to action sport events such as Xgames (Freestyle Motocoss, Freestyle snowboarding, skateboarding, BMX etc.) I would love to one day work in that type of atmosphere with the athletes. I really enjoy traveling and seeing new places. I also like to have side projects building things out of wood.
Work Experience
Chemical Inspector
SGS North America2013 – Present
Performing inspection such as Loading or discharging chemcials on to or off of Vessels, barges, shore tanks, trucks and railcars. Quality control : Physically sampling the product and submitting it into a lab for analysis. Calculations : Determine how much product has moved from point A to Point B. Example : A client wants to buy 1,500 Metric Tons of Ethanol and load onto a vessel that will ship it overseas. I will measure, calulate and sample the product in the Shore tank then once it is confirmed the terminal will pump the product onto a vessel. Once the vessel has completed loading 1,500 MT I would then board the vessel and measure, calulate and sample the product in order to make sure the client and vessel recieved the correct amount.
