Summary
Highly organized and motivated employee with desire to take on new challenges. Strong work ethic, adaptability, willing to learn, and always trying to improve. In relation with this position, my experience from the wind farm was to assess, plan and fix down equipment, make work orders, check out parts, order new parts through vendors, get quotes, and talk to customers. In the recent past I spent many hours on my days off coming into work learning the SAP system in hopes for this job. I believe I have the skills and determination to be an asset in this position and assisting the maintenance department for success as your planner.
