Summary
After working for numerous businesses and corporations that prioritize safety and accident prevention, I am ready to utilize my skills and experience within PGE. In addition to the knowledge and years of hands-on experience, I have also taken it upon myself to complete safety courses and training outside of work to confirm my ability to safely complete the tasks and responsibilities presented to me. Qualities such as being a strong bilingual communicator who listens and maintains a respectful questioning attitude have given me the edge over my fellow co-workers. I am eager to become a part of PGE. In my time at Cedar Creek Corp I have worked alongside pge power line crews where I have acquired extensive knowledge and experience of powerline construction and infrastructure.
