Summary

I am a hard worker willing to grow, and willing to learn new things I've been welding for 5 years and I have the ability to read prints and fabricate material that is needed. I have welded Carbon Steel, Stainless, Inconel, and Carbon to stainless, using the processes SMAW, FCAW, and GTAW. I take pride in my work and verify that everything is up to specification prior to leaving the task. I am a strong team player and am willing to work with others in order to accomplish task at hand,

I have operator multiple pieces of heavy machinery such as forklift, skid steer, haul trucks, front loaders, sheep foot roller, and finishing roller. I have done civil work where my task is to shovel, chip, and drill holes into concrete using the core drill or hammer drill process, and after cleaning and drying the holes, if needed, I set platforms after epoxying the bolts into place.

I have been an iron worker connecting steel at the ground floor and at heights, bolting braces and bolting beams, drilling holes for grading, putting in grading clips, assembling handrails, and attaching toe plates from reading prints and laying out materials. I have drilled holes in steel using standard hand drill and magnetic drill as well. Welding gusset plates and knife clips 2" in thickness, the relocation or clips by cutting with a torch or sawzall, and use of a band saw on material that needs to be cut to specification.
