BRANDON G. IRISH
Summary
I have several years’ experience and have put in many hours of work in industrial construction, always wanting to be an extra hand. I am seeking long term or permanent work, and actively prepared to learn new tasks or skills needed to complete any job. I am a team player and very diligent in my work; you can always rely on me to get a job done correctly. I am a Certified Journey Man with my NCCER. I have worked as an Ironworker for the last six to seven years in the refineries. Starting as just a helper in the field back in 2018. I quickly became dedicated to moving up and getting my certs to become an Ironworker Journeyman and after 6 months of being in the field that’s exactly what I did. Now I have my Journeyman Rigging certificate.
