Summary
In Conclusion, as I have progressed throughout my career, I have been able to overcome every obstacle that has been put in front of me. When I started with Harvest Energy I came on as Erection Field Operations Manager to build the self perform division for them, when they needed me to step up to manage the MCE division I did so eager to expand my knowledge and excited for the challenge ahead with managing multiple divisions. I am willing and eager to step up to the plate for all future challenges. I have a passion for the work I do. I firmly believe that safety and quality are the centerpieces for building a sustainable company that customers will fight over and technicians will want to be a part of. I am always looking to learn new things and learn new and more efficient ways to do the work that needs to be done. I have been around many pieces of heavy machinery and have a great understanding of all equipment. I have knowledge in Microsoft Excel, Office, Outlook and ProCore. I have many years of management experience and have great relationships with all the manufactures and owners I have worked with in the past. I have the utmost respect for the men and women doing the work and am well respected in the industry from all of the teams I have led over the years. I look forward to building new and strong relationships with future clients, owners or manufactures from different types of construction fields as well.
