Summary
I’m currently a bridge worker for Dawson Road Maintenance, and am looking for something that involves being closer to home, as I have a small family and can no longer be away as much as my job currently requires of me. I’m a very fast learner, and good at problem solving when needed. I enjoy doing physical or hands on work, and am quite flexible on the work I’m required to do. I’ve worked in both a fast paced, production environments, and also more meticulous and complex jobs. I feel that if I were to be hired into your establishment that I’d be a great asset. Thank you for taking the time to read my resume.
