William Head

Florence,SC

Summary

My name is William Daylon Head. I am currently on my ninth year as an electromechanical technician. My first five years included extensive training from the US Navy certifying me as a "subject matter expert" regarding all electrical and mechanical work on LM2500 Diesel turbine engines the 501-K34 gas turbine generators and all associated equipment. For the final three years of my five year contract I was in charge of leading all maintenance and repairs on a daily basis. Following my discharge I continued to work as a civilian industrial technician, further advancing my electrical and mechanical background learned over my time in service. I can bring educated leadership and work ethic to a wide range of employers and am currently looking for a local company I can dedicate my technical knowledge to in hopes I can earn a career as opposed to new employment.
