Summary
Hello first I want to say thank you for taking the time to read this. I started my Tower technician career in August of 2012 Since then, now, I have also worked offshore and metal works. A trustworthy hard-working individual that takes workplace safety very serious. I am looking for a career job. Why no longer have to be on the road anymore and can make a sufficient income to support my family and somewhere I can retire from. I know Austal is that perfect fit. I know that safety is taken very serious at Austal and you can have an amazing career while working there. I have listed some skills and what I have done. I have many credentials that involve safety and rigging and rescue. A summary about me. Can provide references or any other info needed.
Thank you and God Bless
