Benjamin Torres Sr.

Seattle,WA

Summary

My name is Benjamin Torres Sr. I have held multiple titles for our company. From Production Worker, to Production supervisor, and to my current title of Maintenance Technician. I have well over 9 years of experience in Amerigas operations and procedures. I am very adept to planning, coordinating and executing successful production strategies. Knowledgeable in most Amerigas policies and I believe that I bring beneficial planning and problem-solving abilities to the table. I am laser focused on the utilization of our companies resources and safety precautions to support safe and quality operations throughout the day to help keep our companies reputation as a safe and healthy work environment alive and well. I have natural relationship-building and leadership talents that have built strong friendships throughout our company. I am efficient in Microsoft Word and Excel. I have both, Ariba and World Travel accounts already. I have a standing relationship with the team in Yuba and I believe that if given the opportunity I have what it takes to help the Yuba facility maintain it's strong reputation of being one of the most highest producing facilities in the western region of Amerigas.

I have worked with Sue Balderrama-ACE Regional Manager for a few years now, she knows my level dedication to our company. I know that if I was given the chance that I can bring a more hands on approach to the operation Managers position.
