Skilled in problem-solving and relationship building, I excelled at Texas Department of Transportation TxTag by streamlining processes, enhancing team collaboration, and significantly improving project outcomes. Leveraging expertise in equipment maintenance and critical thinking, I drove efficiency and safety, demonstrating a commitment to excellence and continuous learning. Being a primary SPOC I have to inspect fire ext. make sure labels are on properly and working conditions, in the correct locations, both in vehicles and shop. Inspect first aid kits and make sure they are up to date. Making sure crew members are wearing proper PPE. TXDOT has also given me the opportunity to work with the Bucket truck, working with small and large signs. I also have a certificate for the Bucket truck, and know the safety procedures to work in the bucket.
