Summary

As a Master Electrician i have 12 years experience in commercial and industrial settings. I have 9 years experience doing medium voltage work, as far as drilling and setting poles, building overhead, change out fuses, swap out transformers, terminate 15 kv cable etc. I have not worked anything hot regarding overhead work and i have never climbed poles but i am eager to learn and want to continue to get better. I always try to make sure im doing the right thing as far as being safe and for others to be safe around me, so we can get the job done in safe mannor and get home to our families at the end of our day. I like to think of myself as a team player, easy to get along with and keep a positive attitude. I appreciate the opportunity to apply for this position and hopefully become a true asset to the team. Thank you.
