Summary
Looking to advance my career in the solar and battery industry while doing what I love at the same time. I have 5 years of experience in the renewable energy field. While working my way up to the surveyor party chief position I hold today, I have gained a vast understanding of utility-scale solar and BESS projects. Knowledgeable in both Trimble and Stonex GPS systems, a vast understanding of civil, electrical and mechanical aspects of the jobs with the ability to read and understand plans. Can deliver precise layouts and implement advanced workflows that improve accuracy and accelerate project timelines. I am a proven leader with a strong focus on safety, quality, and team development. Works closely with all departments, subcontractors, engineers, and project management to ensure projects meet design specifications while capturing detailed as builds for turnover and to use for layout of prior underground work in order to prevent costly, unnecessary remediations.
