Summary

To showcase my skills and leadership ability in all aspects of design and fabrication work. I am very dedicated to my craft and safety practices, and excel well under pressure and tight deadlines. I have experience in bidding on projects and staying within budgets. As a contractor, I procured bids on jobs from outside vendors, and negotiated prices and time frames for job completion. I am well spoken and can communicate clearly both written and verbally, so I was easily able to develop a great rapport with vendors. Good working relationships and teamwork is the key to our success.
