Summary

To have a highly rewarding role where I have the opportunity to showcase skills and to grow as a professional. I am considered an expert in planning, assigning and directing work tasks to crews. I feel that I can carry this over to a logistics operations foreperson role. I am a dedicated team player committed to maintaining safe, clean, and effective equipment and job sites. I find that I have a good relationship with both field staff and other departments.
