Summary
Accomplished Heavy Equipment Operator with a proven track record at Phillips, Inc., enhancing project efficiency through expert machinery operation and effective communication. Skilled in excavator, Dozer, and Wheel loader operation, I consistently ensured safety compliance while mentoring junior operators, fostering a collaborative work environment. Committed to optimizing performance and maintaining high safety standards. I started as a laborer helping wherever I could, assisting with maintenance on the machines, repairs, etc. I was later given an opportunity to achieve my certification in HDPE butt-fusion. After completing a couple of pipe jobs, I was giving the opportunity to run a Cat 992k and a 992G as a backup loadout hand in the mine, loading Cat 777 haul trucks. As I progressed in my career I got the opportunity to run excavator loadouts as well. Running trac-hoes ranging from a small 250 Volvo to a 950 mining trac-hoe. While running loadouts I also completed small jobs/tasks, such as replacing water ways, exploration pits on the side of a mountain, and other activities.
