Summary
I started with Blattner energy as a structural welder building railroad bridges. After promotion I oversaw and worked with a bridge crew building bridges across New Mexico and into Arizona. As the company Stopped rail road work I was transferred to their renewable energy division where I worked alongside crew members in most processes of renewal energy projects construction, Conducted safety audits on crews and work sites multiple times daily and quality inspections on every task and material from breaking ground to finished wind turbine generators. Oversaw and coordinated with suppliers and deliveries to ensure proper supplies and materials were delivered to the appropriate sites to ensure the crews had what was needed to complete their tasks in a timely and safe manner. Maintained communication between crews to ensure smooth transitions from site to site and mitigate hazards or site complications to avoid slowdowns or stoppage of progress.
