Moving heavy equipment and material constantly throughout shifts. Subjected to elements such as dirty work environment and weather. Completing tasks such as cabinetry, crown mold, base trim and doors. These were expected to be completed at a high paced output. Framing houses at entry level experience. However, this required adapting quick to face pace conditions with extremely heavy materials. Exposed to environments and tough expectations from crews. Both job environments have a unique culture of testing your ability to work with crew members. Being exposed to this helped propel me in my EMS career.
