Mike Conley

I worked as a Wastewater Superintendent for roughly 22 of my 25 years at Paintsville Utilities and supervised a staff of roughly 8-10 men. During that time I learned pretty much everything I needed to know to work on about anything in that field. I started working on the side doing that kind of work and waited till I could retire to start my own Contracting Business. After retiring last May, I went fulltime contracting. I've picked up some great clients along the way such as being a Verified Vendor for Ky State Parks. The money is great and the work, but I'm interested in being back in the work group type of field and a steady paycheck. In this line of work I've had to keep daily logs, commission reports, lab/sampling reports and reporting to the EPA on State and Federal levels. I can run an excavator, skid steer, backhoe, Auto Crane, water jetter and dump trucks. I can do electrical (AC/DC), plumbing, carpentry, concrete work, auto mechanics, welding and fab work.
