Summary

Over the past four years and two months that I've been working in this industry, I have been known to be hardworking, reliable, and responsible. I am a hands-on learner, provide good communication skills, am always on time, and am organized. When it comes to getting a job done, I like to be as precise and detailed as possible. Not only to show my work ethic, but to show that I am a worthy and reliable employee. Considering the fact that there is a lot more to learn in this industry, I am all for it. I was given the chance to take my CP1 hands-on and written exam. After passing the course and written exam, I realized that growth is possible if you put your mind to any goals you set for yourself.

Corrosion Technician

Mears Group Inc
Mount Pleasant
07.2021 - 05.2024
  • When I started in this industry, I had to prove my work ethic and show that I am responsible, hardworking, and can take on many difficult tasks.
  • Anytime I was assigned a task, I would get it done without complaints, and I would also work as a team to get the job done.
  • Working with so many crew leads, I was recognized for my hard work and capabilities.
  • I maintain my positivity, and I will always continue to be a reliable worker throughout the job.
  • Receiving my Locate, CIS, DCVG, ACVG, and Soil Res OQ's encouraged me to learn more and get as many certification OQ's as possible.
  • I became a CIS surveyor in under two years, and that was able to take my understanding of corrosion to the next level.
  • I had the opportunity to run my own jobs and crews multiple times, and I became familiar with the whole concept.
  • Getting these opportunities made me realize that being precise and understandable is a big deal in this industry.
  • As much knowledge and information that is still yet to be learned, taking it step by step and growing is my goal.
  • January of 2023, I got the opportunity to go to the NACE CP1 class and test. Read the NACE book multiple times to learn and retain more knowledge. Passed the written exam in November of 2023.
