Summary
With 18 years of experience, I started as a boiler operator and maintenance man, acquiring a strong foundation of knowledge. Seeking fresh opportunities, I joined a unique fertilizer company operating year-round. Throughout my tenure, I actively participated in the safety committee and took on additional responsibilities as an assistant manager or safety professional manager. By utilizing further education programs and funding, I consistently improved my abilities and became skilled at supporting others. Whether serving as an assistant construction manager or a construction safety manager, I approach my roles with dedication and professionalism.
