Weatherford,TX

Summary

I have unique experience that I think sets me apart from other applicants. The school I attended has its own Wind Turbine which gives me the opportunity to have had hands on experience prior to me working in the field as well as having already worked in the field as a Service technician for Nordex USA. In addition I am very hardworking and always strive to get the job at hand done effectively and efficiently, but at the same time keeping the safety of myself and the safety of who ever I may be working with at the very front of my mind. I am very eager and ready to learn and absorb any helpful information to help me better excel at this job.
