•Operating excavators of various size, digging depth, reach and lifting capacity to make sewer line and man hole repairs
I was hired by PSC in April of 1997 as a burner and traveled job to job all over the United States. After learning the different torch cutting techniques on the ground I found myself high up either climbing the iron or in man baskets or lifts. The Superintendent I traveled with was an operator by trade and he made sure I got the training and seat time I needed to make the next step to operator. We switched companies a few times for various reasons but the upper management group stayed the same. Unfortunately for me Dave,the Superintendent got killed on a project we were on in Arkansas so I found myself running work from the seat of a machine. I wasn't happy with how I got there but I loved the work. When upper management went to Jackson Demolition I was hired in as superintendent. I'd been running work for several years at this point so it was just a title. I got the opportunity to do some estimating at this point and I'd like to do some more in the future.
