Jeff Tuttle
Grand Rapids,MI
Summary
After 38 years in the trade, I feel I offer a vast amount of skills and knowledge that are beneficial to the everchanging automotive industry. Even while I was managing programs, I would work in any areas that were needed to make sure the project would get completed on time. I'm still running a wireburner and building fixtures when we are backed up on some gages.
Experienced project management leader with strong focus on team collaboration and achieving results. Adept at guiding teams through complex projects, ensuring timely delivery, and exceeding expectations. Skilled in strategic planning, risk management, and resource allocation. Known for loyalty, reliability, flexibility, and results-driven approach in dynamic environments.
Whether it be on the bench building or overseeing a program, I have the skills necessary to succeed.
