Oakville,ON
Summary
Over the last 11 years at the town I went from a sanitation student to seasonal parks employee to full time roads and works laborer in the creeks to now a full time heavy equipment operator/ winter forman. I have learned how to adapt to different people tasks and work sites. Handled a wide range questions thoughts and concerns from the residents of Oakville. Used a long list of equipment. I believe I have Grown and enhanced my management skills handling teams+ people with different scales of personality and work ethics. Pushed myself to enhance the departments I have been in with new ideas that back jobs easier or save the town money which has been used multiple times.
