Summary
I have 35 years in the structural and mech, drafting areas and approx. 3 Yrs. Auto-cad. I was laid off after the company, Memphis wire and iron, closed its doors to Covid-19. I've been out of work for approx. 6 Yrs., so my auto cad skills are rusty but can be revived. I've been a project manager, checker, and all-around supervisor in the shop when needed. I would like to go back to work. Wife passed away last yr and I would like to be useful again.
