Work History

Electrical Apprentice

Allied Electric Services, Inc.
Cleveland, OH
11.2022 - Current

I was brought in with limited knowledge and training. Started attending school after 9 months and learned on the job. Worked my way up to being able to lead jobs and call sites. Started training all the new apprentices and people who were coming in who were unfamiliar with the specific type of work we do at our company. We work in industrial facilities, do commercial lighting jobs, and sometimes dabble in residential. Cell sites are our biggest jobs. I am moldable and teachable and enjoy learning about control work mostly.

  • Assisted in installation and maintenance of electrical systems under supervision.
  • Collaborated with senior electricians to troubleshoot electrical issues efficiently.
  • Learned to operate various hand and power tools safely and effectively.
  • Supported project completion by preparing work sites and organizing materials.
  • Followed safety protocols to maintain compliance with industry standards.
  • Documented daily tasks and progress to ensure accurate reporting of work performed.
  • Participated in training sessions to enhance technical skills and knowledge of electrical codes.
