Summary

I feel that this position would be another step in my career with Basin Electric. I have been the outside crew supervisor for over 10 years and worked on most mechanical equipment for 9 years before that. I feel that moving to planning would be a change and would a new challenge here.

My job requires me to plan jobs almost daily. This includes rolling up work requests, adding parts, scheduling with coal yard, shift supervisors, and W.T.P. to complete work. Also, requires communication with engineering, planning, upper supervision, then assign the work to employees and follow up on it's completion and help if additional parts or services are needed. All of this with safety being priority.
