Summary
While starting out in the trades as a pipefitter, I have acquired extensive knowledge and experience in the "hands-on" aspect of industrial construction, and I feel that experience has been a great asset in my career as a crane operator. Being cognizant of the steps and procedures required to complete tasks safely and on time as a construction foreman has allowed me to use these skills to have a unique perspective on job management, execution and safety as a crane operator.
