Work History

Survey Party Chief

STRAND AE
10.2022 - Current
  • During my time at STRAND we mainly focused on new build construction. Titles, lots and forms were our main surveying gigs with the occasional construction surveying for roads, headwalls, ponds, sidewalks and just about anything else that would go into a freshly built neighborhood.
  • My focus here was getting things done as quickly, efficiently and accurate as possible which got noticed by my bosses earlier on resulting in me being the crew they trusted to fix things others may have messed up..
  • I trained my iman at this company to survey up to my standards and also learn her way around equipment, staking and all surveying skills involved in what we were doing. I also trained other crews to get up to speed with how we operated and did things here.
  • Contributed to successful project completions by coordinating with engineers, architects, and other professionals.
  • Demonstrated adaptability through quick learning of new industry software applications, boosting overall productivity levels.
  • Improved project efficiency by consistently updating survey data and maintaining accurate records.

Instrument Operator

SAM LLC
01.2017 - 08.2022
  • During my 5 years at SAM LLC I obtained an incredible amount of knowledge in the surveying field. From pipeline preliminary staking, boundary, as-built, transmission line projects, topography surveying, etc.. Learning how to communicate with project teams along with construction workers out in the field has helped me complete tasks to everyone's standards. I have experience with most of all Trimble's stuff such as R10, SX10's, S6 & their software on a panasonic data collector. While I haven't been a party chief on paper or by title, I definitely have the knowledge & skills to be one. I've been running the data collector for 3 years now while learning Trimble software like the back of my hand.
  • Delivered accurate measurements, conducting tests using various instruments according to project requirements.

  • Working in attics, learning how to trouble shoot & speak with clients to help determine the issue at hand has given me good communication skills along with understanding different ways of people explaining issue. I worked A/C during high school summers witch was a great experience. Working in 110+ degree attics has made my ability to work under extreme heat feel rather easy.
  • Followed supervisor instructions to complete tasks on time.
  • Maintained a clean and organized workspace, reducing accidents and increasing overall productivity.
  • Operated various hand and power tools to complete general tasks.

Communicating our upcoming days work with our foreman to determine what tasks need to be completed before our work day ended.
