Summary
Dedicated and safety-focused AHS Guide in the coal mining industry with hands-on experience supporting autonomous haulage operations. Highly self-motivated and hardworking, with a proactive approach to identifying and resolving operational challenges before they escalate. Leverages prior lead hand experience to coordinate with coworkers, develop daily work plans, and promote clear communication in high-risk environments. Committed to maintaining safe, efficient operations while ensuring each shift is completed to the highest performance standards and that all team members return home safely.
