Summary
I worked at SPSI for three years where I primarily worked as a part time fleet mechanic. As a mechanic I conducted regular repairs and maintenance on vehicles and other equipment. I have worked with large pumps, generators, pressure washers, and air compressors. I have also operated heavy equipment such as front end loaders, skid steers, large and mini excavators, tractors, and forklifts. I have used these to transport materials, move dirt and gravel to repair damaged areas in the yard, and to simply move them to work on them. I have worked at Maxwell Welding and Machine for about a month where I repair equipment from mines and steel mills using a mig welder. I use drawings of the equipment to know where I am making repairs and what wire to use.
