  • As Heavy Mobile Crane Electrician Inspector / TV and Appliance Electronics Technician with 10 years of working experience, ranging from complex circuit troubleshooting on TV and Appliance equipment to maintenance and repair of electric cranes. As a graduated electrical apprentice, I have an electrical trade degree from Olympic College. I have learned AC and DC theory and I am able to perform and teach these skills in the field. I have a Bachelor’s Degree from Central Washington University in Business Administration and an Associate Degree from Highline College. I am currently a crane electrical apprentice of four years. I have graduated with a 3.9 GPA in the academic part of the apprenticeship. My duties include but are not limited to the identification/repair of deficiencies on portal, mobile, wall, jib, floater, barge, gantry and bridge cranes as well as other various weights handling equipment. I aide in the facilitation and leading of various jobs which include: scheduling, ordering of parts, troubleshooting, voltage verifications, alterations, preventative maintenance, operational checks/tests, load tests and other pre-engineered service documents. I assist in the delegation and execution of work as well as being the median between the supervisor and maintenance workers (providing oversight, updating status of work/crane, ensuring deficiencies are corrected appropriately, and that our standards and expectations are met. I also mentor co- workers to ensure they have full knowledge and understanding of electrical theory, electrical systems, safety procedures and standard shop practices. Currently, employed as an Electrician Inspector in Crane Maintenance. While working in Crane Maintenance, I have worked on all categories and types of Cranes, from portals to package hoists and even mobiles and floating Cranes. Performing maintenance MISR (Maintenance Inspection Specification and Record) on these Cranes requires understanding and knowledge of a wide variety of governing standards, directives and procedures which include but are not limited to: NAVFAC P-307, Corporate lifting and handling manual (CLHM), and local Lifting and Handling Administrative Procedures/Engineering Instructions (LHAP/LHEI). I have worked extensively with these documents to perform preventative and corrective maintenance through the use of LHEI’s and Lifting and handling work instructions (LHWI’s) to perform work. I have utilized LHWI changes (LHWIC’s) or Document Change Requests (DCR) to correct administrative errors in paper work or to make technical changes to engineered documents such as terminology of subsystems and testing procedure errors. In addition to the documentation required for maintenance. I have performed independent roles in planning evolutions and leading large maintenance services of Cranes utilizing Microsoft project. This led to the very successful C2 Service of Crane 85 which was completed in 47 days, far ahead of normal maintenance cycles which go beyond 90 days in many cases. I am frequently consulted by Journeyman, Supervisors, Engineers, and General foreman to complete complex tasks such as planning evolutions, Troubleshooting complex systems, by gathering technical data and procedures from references, liaison with Manufactures to find pertinent information for corrective and preventative maintenance, as well as engineered document creation. I have done a wide variety of technical work on cranes, from performing engineered maintenance evolutions to modifications and alterations. I have independently led troubleshoots of electrical systems on all categories of cranes using a systematic troubleshooting method, electrical print reading and OEM instructions. Leading these jobs requires effective communication skills, ability to lead others, and critical thinking in order to correct deficiencies using a wide range of methods and test equipment. Beyond the technical, I am relied upon to perform Quality Assurance (QA) checks of other electrical workers and Journeyman at all levels of work such as: work package creation for completeness and meeting necessary requirements, performing in process inspections of work performed to ensure safety, first time quality of electrical work, verification of electrical drawings and diagrams to ensure safe and reliable operation of systems. I often work above my grade and expected level of experience providing engineers and inspectors with on hand knowledge of Cranes and electrical systems to aid in repair, or correct documents and procedures. Lastly, I provide electrical training to electrical workers from helper to Journeyman in electrical theory, application, and continued safe equipment operation.
