I served as a Field Technician on a job site, overseeing the quality of repairs conducted on Highway 37 in northern Manitoba. My responsibilities included working at a scale within a gravel pit, verifying data and information related to semi-trucks, and assisting with surveying tasks. The role demanded long hours, typically ranging from 12 to 16 hours per day, working outdoors in varying weather conditions. Additional duties involved performing basic calculations and handling loads exceeding 25 kg.

I collaborated closely with the full-time Public Works Department, assisting in various roles as needed. I received training and contributed to several aspects of city maintenance, including operating the hot patcher for street repairs, assisting with the installation of sewer and water pipes, and supporting residential garbage collection efforts.

I held this position for three consecutive summers, where I effectively interacted with clients via phone, email, and in person. I was responsible for greeting and registering campers during check-in and check-out, while also providing them with park rules, maps, and instructions upon arrival. Additionally, I managed and assigned camping sites, and was in charge of all opening and closing daily operations.

I ensured cleanliness and sanitation of the bathroom and shower facilities, and during the pandemic's Code Red protocols, I explained the safety measures to new campers, while consistently sanitizing the office and common areas. I handled cash, credit card, and debit card transactions, and maintained the cleanliness and upkeep of the campsites after checkouts. With a strong focus on safety, I operated park equipment and managed bookings for the local facility.

I served as a Shop Assistant to the Groomer, where my responsibilities included performing reception duties such as greeting clients both in person and over the phone, scheduling appointments, and processing payments for services rendered. I provided direct support to the groomer by assisting with the bathing and cleaning of animals, in addition to maintaining the cleanliness and sanitation of the shop.
