Summary
I have greatly enjoyed my journey at Northline Utilities LLC over the past two and a half years. Throughout this time, I have had the opportunity to work in various areas of the industry, expanding my knowledge in line work and taking on increasing responsibility.
Currently, I hold the position of journeyman lineman and small job foreman, and I am within reach of becoming a barehand specialist and holding clearances. My experience in these roles, combined with my established status within the company, has allowed me to form strong working relationships with the team in Delaware and gain a deep understanding of the operations.
Given my experience, technical knowledge, and familiarity with both the team and the tasks at hand, I believe transitioning into the role of general foreman would be a seamless process. I am confident that my skills would allow for a smooth transition with minimal disruption, and I am prepared to continue contributing to the success of our operations at Northline Utilities LLC.
