Summary

Hardworking Plant Operator with success in accurately preserving excellent operations in a wastewater plant for quality. Accomplished in carefully monitoring day-to-day facility operations, recording accurate data, and maintaining plant equipment. Focused on safety when completing preventive maintenance, performing repairs and adjusting settings. Proven team player, always first hand up when volunteers were needed. Examples from this past year include the winter freeze, and hurricane Nicholas. These disasters required that I stay overnight for consecutive day in a row, as the situations required round the clock attention. Proficient Commercial Drivers License instructor, trained several fellow employees to get their CDLs in order to keep their jobs and even advance. Go-getter who has desire and drive to expand my knowledge, often requesting new tasks around job sites just for the experience, with goals to continue to work and grow to be better in my field.
