- Gained proficiency in lighting controls and troubleshooting errors during apprenticeship, ensuring reliable system performance.
- In my fourth year I ran a bunch of 3 & 4-inch conduit, made up electrical rooms, pulled feeders, wired up panels and pulled their homeruns.i got my journeyman's and shortly after became a foreman at Crowley HS, this is where I learned how to build morale, encourage good work ethic, punish bad, manage inventory, plan ahead and make the most out of 12/16 first years that were on my crew, some of which now outwork 2 5th years.
- As a second year I gained experience running my own crew, first starting with 2-3 guys at the TCU Saddler hall project and later went on to 5-7 people if not 14 at Eagle Mountain high school when my foreman at the time would call in sick or just miss a lot of days which is where i cemented most of my knowledge of lighting controls and troubleshooting until my mid third year.
- I have experience with exhaust fans, VAV's, Rooftop units and verifying that the sized wire pulled to them is suitably rated for the amperage shown on the nameplate.
- Read prints to verify installations met height and location specifications while coordinating with other trades to prevent conflicts.
- I am confident in my pipe bending skills and my ability to teach others in EMT, RMC/plastibond, PVC, and FMC and the means of properly securing them.
- Referenced code book and coordinated with trades and superintendent to resolve questions and ensure compliance.
