Summary
I am certain that my expertise will perfectly align with your company. I have been honing my skills in the industrial painting industry for over 24 years (May2001). For the past 16 years, I was privileged enough to handle responsibilities of a foreman/supervisor/ coating inspector. During this time, I have cultivated and developed my management skills. I am confident in my leadership abilities. I am a N.A.C.E. LEVEL2 certified painting coating inspector. I also have a T.W.I.C card and have earned my OSHA10 card and I am willing to relocate if necessary. I am flexible and adapt quickly. In fact, my versatility includes experience in pipeline, tank farms, nuclear power plants, construction sites, shipyards, and offshore. I am extremely excited to speak with you about furthering my career. Please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your consideration. Best regards, ANTHONY D. WILLIS
