Mark Williton

Hensall/Edmonton

Summary

With over 40 years of hands-on experience in the transportation and heavy equipment industries, I bring a strong work ethic, practical skill set, and the ability to quickly adapt to new roles. While I am a seasoned and accomplished truck driver, my background also includes extensive experience operating a wide range of heavy equipment, including dozers, rock trucks, excavators, and wheel loaders

Though I am not certified as a Red Seal mechanic, I began mechanical work at age 12 and have developed strong troubleshooting and repair skills through decades of practical experience. I am eager to take on an apprenticeship and am confident in my ability to succeed — potentially even challenge a third-year level. I am also committed to ongoing learning and open to taking any training or certification courses as needed

Relocation is an option for the right opportunity, and I am looking to bring my broad-based, real-world expertise to a team that values experience, dedication, and a willingness to grow
