Summary
I have great enthusiasm and interest in continuing my industrial mechanic career. I believe I have the possibility of becoming a very useful and valuable employee by bringing my existing mechanical, and industrial maintenance knowledge to the table, while advance my skill throughout my career. Through my career as an industrial/power plant mechanic I’ve seen and worked with a lot of different machinery and equipment, from drive chains in car plants to steam turbines in power houses. I have a 2 year completion of welding trade school. I have great leadership skills as I have been trusted in Foremen/Step up Supervisor positions, I learn new trades quickly and I’m an independent thinker. I have an exceptional work ethic. I work well in a team, I am very respectful other points, I’m a good listener and I’m patient. I have a steady hand. I’m physically strong and I have an eye for detail, quality and safety.
