Summary
I want to be a well rounded maintenance mechanic/technician and plan to put myself through HVAC and electrical programs that deal with refrigeration and PLC reading. I currently have around 5-7 years of hands on welding experience through various millwright and welding jobs. When COVID hit, I switched to plumbing thinking that was going to be more steady work but unfortunately at platinum plumbing we hit a 3 month slow period before I was let go and I ended up moving up to st.clair and couldn't find plumbing work so I used the skills I currently had and applied at Ashland foundry as an industrial maintenance technician and have been here for about a year. I plan to continue my education and want to put more prioritization on electrical so I can better diagnose electrical systems.
