Summary
Twenty-five years working in construction, shipping, and receiving. I can read blueprints, understand timelines and budgets, and I am willing to go the extra mile to complete the tasks at hand. Managed the shipping department and warehouse for one of the biggest beef processing plants in the country, including the inventory, location of stock, rotation of stock, inventory, and warehousing of the production product. Helped with the daily logistics, hiring/firing, training new hires, and all other tasks that were set forth in front of me.
