What's New
December 2006
As WelltechSafety continues to grow and our opportunities expand, it becomes increasingly important to ensure that our training efforts are managed effectively. As a result, we are pleased to announce the promotion of Donna Thomas from her position as Regional Training Manager to the WelltechSafety Training Manager. In her new position, Donna will oversee the Southwest, Northwest, Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain Regional Trainers and Training coordinators. Under Donna’s tutelage, the WelltechSafety training organization will receive and subsequently deliver consistent training guidance in accordance with standard policies and procedures, which presents the greatest benefit to the company.
Congratulations are in order for both Donna Thomas and Mike Jankiewicz on reaching their ten-year anniversaries as NCCER Master Instructors. Achieving and then maintaining this level of certification for this length of time takes dedication and work. We are thankful to have both on our team.
