Summary
I’ve worked five years in the water, sewer, pipeline, and excavation industry. I am a fast learner, and a team player. My skills range from laying pipe to operating heavy equipment, including excavators, skid steers, and dozers. With that being said, I overlooked and maintained maintenance on the equipment.
With three and a half years of college, I have learned great computer and communication skills.
