26 years making the weld. Now he decides if yours passes.
Before the clipboard, the stinger. Red Seal Journeyman. Alberta “B” Pressure. Rig welder on shutdowns, module yards and pipelines from Kearl Lake to Shell Scotford. He landed in Canada in 2007 a welder, and stayed one until he’d seen the work from both sides of the hood.
So he reads ASME B31.3 the way a welder reads a puddle. He knows a rushed root pass on sight, and every reason a crew rushes one. Fair to the crew. Firm on the code. The ITP gets signed when the work is right.
Suncor. Syncrude. CNRL. MEG. No room for a bad weld.
Ten roles. One direction: welder, foreman, inspector. All of it on Alberta’s heaviest industrial ground.
