Summary
I am licensed Master Electrician seeking permanent employment in the PLC / Automation and Control aspect of the crane industry. The goal is to use my extensive 25+ years of experience with PLC's in crane technology to improve and innovate the future of our business and customer experience. I work well in a team setting and understand the challenges presented by new innovative technology implementation. I have presented myself on both sides of the industry as a customer of the crane business and more recently as an OEM representative. This has given me the unique opportunity to understand the challenges presented to both the customer and supplier. I have handled multi-million dollar projects with the assistance and guidance of qualified project management. I am a leader able to follow direction while being a crucial part of an efficient team. I am responsible and reliable. I am professional, confident, and competent. I have spent the last 25+ yrs. working on cranes (Kone, Bardella, Kranco, Peiner, Paceco, Davy Morris, Noel, IMPSA, Terex, Gotwald, Caillard, etc.) at container facilities from Europe to The Americas. I am a proficient / efficient traveler that can be relied on in the most challenging circumstances. I will put in the extra work needed to succeed at any task I accept. I look forward to proving my merit with a competent well skilled team.
