I am a 51 year old male looking for part time or full time employment. I am highly qualified for many jobs, but am restricted physically by being paralyzed recently.
Wiring and bidding of residential and commercial buildings. Corresponding with homeowners and laying out lighting design.
Managing/scheduling crews and ordering materials
I have great customer relation skills and am able to connect with clients to identify their needs and resolve frustrations. Working in the electrical field over the last 20 years, I worked my way up to almost 100% full take over of the business as the owner was retiring. This provided me the opportunity to work in all areas of the business from scheduling jobs and assigning appropriate personnel to get the job done, predicting and ordering materials for jobs and interacting with customers throughout the project from bidding to completion.
With my certification in small engine mechanics I have been able to trouble shoot and repair equipment like chain saws, lawnmowers, weed eaters, small tractors, vehicle repairs, golf cart engines, etc... I also have excellent knowledge of parts and materials used in engine repair.
In December of 2021 I was in an accident that left me paralyzed from the waist down and I have a moderate traumatic brain injury.
My physical limitations are:
* no lifting more than 30 pounds
* restricted to a wheelchair
* need to be able to move/ massage my legs every couple of hours to prevent spasms
* appropriate facilities for movement in wheelchair and appropriate restroom facilities
My mental limitations are:
* I struggle when there are too many things to attend to at once. I can complete tasks one at a time, but would struggle with multiple interuptions.
