Work History
Lead Electrical and instrumentation Tech.
NV Energy

- Same duties as I had at PIC group except, I have moved my way up to the lead position for the E and I shop since I have joined NV Energy. I am proficient in the Maximo system including writing stock requests, writing work orders, approving work orders, and doing material requisitions. I run the crew and have been doing a lot of planning for the shop. I deal with vendors, order parts as needed, and get parts put into stock for daily use and outages. I have led the crew through a coal to gas boiler conversion on both units that we have out here.
