Summary

I do consider Myself as a professional with extensive experience in industrial painting and home renovation, notably at The Painting Guys. Proven ability in quality control and problem-solving, ensuring optimal project outcomes. Skilled in HVAC systems and blueprint interpretation, with a strong focus on enhancing efficiency and fostering collaborative team environments. I do have a very good understanding of printing and bag forming . I do understand the precision and quality it takes in printing using plates that have to be mounted onto cylinders for proper run through presses for printing and most important I understand that my safety and all others around me is key to a successful production.

I just wanted to add that if given this opportunity to work with here with you I will strive to be the best employee I can be for the benefit of myself and the company and I will also be looking at it as a place to eventually retire from so I will give my best to every aspect of this opportunity.
