Good morning Scott,
I recently moved to the North Richland Hills area from Oklahoma. I am seeking a career with a oil and gas company and came across this website. I think I missed the job fair for the oil and gas companies, and want to know who, or where I can send my resume for a potential job? Can I send you my resume then maybe you can point me in the right direction? Thank you for your time, Rochelle Wilcox

Just make sure everyone hired is in this country legally. Double
check documents and require English to be spoken. This is serious
work that requires expertise and communication skills. For Safty
Reasons.
