Bio
Leon Meyer
Jimmie came to Crew 308 in August of 2007 in Havre, Montana as a Field Administrator. Although she had no prior experience in seismic survey and data acquisition, she learned quickly and became a superior FA. Among her talents, two traits stood out immediately to me as an RCM. First and foremost, that she, within three weeks, learned the names of each and every person on my crew. At that time there were over 100 on staff. She treated the crew with respect and courtesy in every interaction and they trusted her. Second, she brought the Quickbooks program to my attention. I gave the go ahead to implement it into our accounting procedures. She had it set-up and running within a couple of days. She worked it side-by-side with the existing accounting procedures for two weeks. At that point, I gave her the support needed to convince the head office that it was better for crew reporting and she provided the documentation to support the decision. After another couple of weeks, Quickbooks was distributed to other crews for their accounting and Jimmie created the base structure that they could easily install to be up and running quickly. She trained me, my ARCM, and FAs on other crews in the software and other accounting as well as administrative methods. Overall, Jimmie was effectively my right hand and we conducted the administration and management of the crew collaboratively. Pleasant. Professional. Dedicated.

Among Jimmie’s talents are a rare combination of business savvy and an eye for detail. She quickly gets tuned in to what makes the business run and then makes it run faster, better and more efficient. You get to focus on your core business with the comfort of knowing day to day operations are in good hands. Pleasant to work with, professional and focused on results.
