Summary

I am a 5 year lineman that has contracted on multiple systems with Entergy being one. I have worked on Entergys system both on a regular contract and on multiple storms. I maintain safety for both me and the guys on my crew on a daily basis. I am experienced both in a bucket and on a digger truck. I would love to continue my powerline career at Entergy. I am a hard worker and fast learner. There are multiple things working as a contractor that I have not had the opportunity to learn and on some things try to teach myself. Anything I can be taught with the opportunity at Entergy I would take and keep it in my mind. I want Entergy to be my career where I can further it and be successful with the company.
