Vice President of Operations for Permian Basin

Tracy’s NDE career began at the young age of 18. Little did he know at the time, the great passion he would develop for working in the inspection industry. However, his thirst for knowledge, pride in his work, and desire to succeed all contributed to propelling his career forward. He began as an entry-level trainee in the Inspection division of Oceaneering and spent 2 years working primarily in fabrication yards. He spent the next 3 years at Team Industrial Services where he became a technician and earned multiple NDE certifications. He diversified his skills by working in various plants, pipelines, tank farms, offshore platforms, and vessel shops. His knowledge and skills grew exponentially during his next 6 years at NVI as he transitioned into management. He began as an Assistant Manager and Radiation Safety Officer but quickly advanced into the role of Operations Manager. In this position, he was responsible for managing up to 25 crews at a time. His final year with NVI was marked with great achievement. His exceptional management techniques combined with employee teamwork resulted in an OSHA recordable incident rate of zero. He also achieved no lost time accidents due to injuries, all while realizing record-breaking man hours worked. As a member of the Olivier International management team, Tracy utilizes these proven methods to set high standards in the areas of safety, service, and quality that far surpass his competitors. His dedication to excellence and commitment to lead his team by example have resulted in many customers commenting on the positive difference they have experienced in Olivier International’s service when compared to other companies. Lastly, Tracy would like to leave everyone with a final thought from Albert Einstein: “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
