Myles Edgar
VISTA
Summary
I have dedicated 10 years to be a Utility Forester professional giving me plenty of vegetation management and utility field experience, including 2 years as an Area Lead with Davey Resource Group. I’m experienced in crew leadership, quality control, safety compliance, client relations, customer service and utility vegetation management operations. I have a proven ability to lead teams, maintain production goals, support regulatory compliance, and mentor new and existing personnel with any issues they may have. Additional supervisory experience from prior team leadership roles brings a strong foundation in my people management skills and operations as well as being an aid to my current lead when help with the team is needed such as quality assurance audits, hazard tree (GR) audits, questions or concerns about compliance issues, employee shadowing, assisting employees in less safe environments such as hikes, sensitive customers, and undesirable road conditions.
