Work History
Park Maintenance Assistant
California State Parks - Clolonel Allensworth SHP
Earlimart, CA
05.2020 - 05.2022
- I served as a lead over two seasonal Maintenance employees in tasks of groundskeeping, daily facility maintenance, infrastructure and historic building repair. Employee safety was an utmost priority.
- My Tasks included but were not limited to; performing vehicle inspections, calculating fuel receipts, servicing power equipment, writing purchasing requests, phone ordering supplies and driving throughout the Great Basin District delivering Maintenance supplies. Natural and historical interpretation to the public was part of the job.
- Some of my accomplishments from my time at this park are working multiple levels out of my class due to lack of Maintenance supervisors. With the Park Superintendent's permission, I collected multiple bids and supervised tree abatement, roofing and well drilling jobs. My largest accomplishment in my time there was to ascertain the sprinkler and sewage systems resulting in the approval of a $30,000 bid to replace a faulty septic tank and lift station.

- Interpreted history to the public of the State Water Project, laws and policies of State Parks, performed traffic control and lots of trash cleanup.
