Summary

Accomplished and energetic Construction Worker with a solid history of achievement in Ironworking and Rigging. I helped erect the Demethanizers and Cold Boxes along with all of the steel, at Building 54 in Texas Eastman Longview,TX. I've also done numerous exchanger jobs at Eastman in my 19.5 years of working in this plant. I'm a Motivated leader with strong organizational and prioritization abilities. Areas of expertise include iron, reading drawings and leading others in the right way to get the task accomplished safely and efficient, Rigging, gathering the proper rigging and materials to make a lift safely and correctly. Operation Monitoring Coordination, Active Listening, Quality Control Analysis, Reading Comprehension, Operation and Control Judgment and Decision Making, Speaking, Time Management ,Critical Thinking, Mathematics, Complex Problem Solving, Building and Construction Production, and Processing Public Safety. Critical thinking skills and math skills are two of my strongest traits. Along with with safely, being a good leader, and team player. I think I would be a great asset to Eastman's team because of my familiarity with not only the plant, but also the people that work here and the good working relationships I have formed with them. I worked in Port Sulphur, LA on the biggest LNG job going on in the world today. Making all the heavy lifts in the Pretreatment area of Phase 1. I have crucial knowledge in making lifts with cranes and making critical decisions when the time comes to get the job done safely and efficiently.
