Summary
Coming from an automotive background, I feel confident, and capable of learning the heavy equipment field. I have a strong work ethic, work well with others, and won’t say no to a job. Im quick, and efficient at things I know, and if I’m unsure of something, I will always ask for help before something breaks. Willing to take any courses, and get certifications as needed. I’m not looking for just another job, I’m looking to learn and grow with the company I’d like to retire from.
