Summary
I am an extremely hardworking individual, and I pride myself on working extremely safe, while also being extremely efficient. I am a well-rounded laborer with knowledge and experience in general construction, physical labor, trenching, digging, grading, concrete work, underground conduit, pipelaying, and more. I am proficient in the use of hand tools and power tools, along with experience working alongside digger derricks, cranes, and heavy equipment. I have worked in all weather conditions, from extreme heat to snow, and I can adapt to anything that is thrown my way. I work extremely well in a team environment, but I can also work safely, quickly, and efficiently on my own with little to no guidance. I am confident that I can tackle any challenge placed in front of me because I take the time to assess the entire process and procedures to complete each job ergonomically and safely.
