Responsible for managing personnel and materials to complete construction projects planned by company designers. Work often involved integrating on-site customer concerns while satisfying budget constraints. Position required independent decision-making and professional initiative as well as the ability to work with a team. Necessary skills also included operating and maintaining power tools and heavy equipment. A typical 10-hour workday often involved moving and installing several tons of material and stone by hand. Some job sites also required coordinating with other contractors such as electricians, plumbers, and concrete workers. I have experience operating mini-loaders, skid loaders, mini excavators, tele-handlers, and front end loaders.
