White collar! Nope not me. I have been a blue collar worker my whole life. I like this job because I can still get my hands dirty and work out in the field. I will go insane in an office.

I will also have pepperoni and extra cheese on my pizza please. If it is not here in 30 minutes then it is free!

Field Eng are the project support team. They do everything from writing purchase reqs, doing simple calculations and drawing/document checks, write installation and testing procedures, design simple structures and systems to facilitate our installations, attend project meetings with the client, verify heavy lift drawings and rigging specs, manage ship load outs for projects, visit subcontractors and fab yards to monitor progress, and they go offshore when the project they are assigned to is in progress. When offshore, they act as a technical contact and observer. Which means they sleep a lot, eat a lot, and watch a ****-ton of movies.

My experience in the Automotive Industry should satisfy even the strongest critics. I am confident I could serve the company well by improving the overall morale of my Team.

For example, instead of a smelly, oily company ship I would recommend that the company charters a world class Cruise Ship for the deployment of personnel. In addition, I would encourage professional sporting groups such as the NBA to have at least one game per week onboard during long term overseas voyages.

Knowing that there are several automotive enthusiasts on staff we could bench race for hours on end, relieving stress during the workday.

These are but a few ways that I can improve the overall employee experience in your organization.

If you are interested in learning more ways that I can be of valuable service to your organization please feel free to p.m. me.

Thank you sir,

I am certain that Helix is looking for an in house drafter. It is far easier to communicate with drafting when all you have to do is walk down the hall. Unless you have a great understanding of offshore installations.

Interns are usually engineering or engineering technology students, entering their Sr year in college. We offer full time Intern positions, as well as part-time. If you come in with a good attitude and are eager to learn, it usually leads to a permanent position when you graduate. If you come in cocky and act like you know everything, you get fired.

I wished I would have taken that route when I wasnt doing what I do now. When I was a data cable structuring apprentice, everybody said I had a enthusiatic attitude that only a few elite rivaled passing through. Along with grasping on things that people a few years there couldnt quite get, I was also given responsbilities that was 'againts union rules' to hold down. Oh well, not everybody takes the right road
