BRENT SAPPINGFIELD

Terre Haute,IN

Summary

Electrical engineer with 15 years of acquired skills in both new builds and renovation/maintenance, as well as foreman experience, looking to transition into project management.

I have spent the majority of my career as a union electrician with the IBEW 725. Since this line of work requires me to be contracted with many different companies for varying intervals, I have included only the last 4 years' worth of experience for the sake of brevity.
