Summary
I have worked along side my Father, Chris Gould, owner of Gould Enterprises as a general labor. I have helped clear debris, removed boilers and oil tanks from commercial and residential properties. I have shoved Snow and participated in preparedness and cleaning up from Maine winters. I help deal with local garages in removing their scrap metal. Scrap metal removal involves heavy lifting, following safety procedures, communication both with customers and each other. The ability to learn. Knowledge of scrapyard procedures and testing to determine a metal type. As long as I can remember I have tagged alone with my Dad to learn what he was doing for work.
My quest to learn new things evolved at age 13 when I contacted Barclay Skindivers to see if I could earn my way onto their dive course. Tim and Ian Barclay were instrumental in teaching me on land and underwater. I have a passion for diving. I learned and preformed construction, landscaping and anything they would offer to teach me to expand my knowledge.
My diving has open my eyes to the waste that is deposited in our water sources. The Summer of 2021 I dove local lakes and ponds to remove trash. I started a Gofundme account to be able to purchase diving equipment to continue my efforts. Old Navy sponsored my quest to clean up Maines Lakes. I inspired my friends to join me hauling cans and fishing lures from the shores at Martins Point. I dove at Horseshoe Cove on lake Cobbossee cleaning up debris left from boaters. My love of diving continues today as I wait to take the next diving course available.
I am a fast learner. I am comfortable handling physically demanding tasks across long shifts and through problematic weather conditions. I have proven resourcefulness and handling of difficult labor projects. I can juggles multiple tasks to keep assignment timelines on schedule. I am a hardworking and reliable person. I am organized, proactive and punctual with team-oriented mentality. I will be an asset to your company.
Punctual Laborer skilled at supporting [Type] operations. Trained in safely loading and unloading materials and cleaning and preparing worksites. Physically fit and agile individual comfortable operating job-related machinery and lifting heavy loads.
