What I'm looking for

I'm seeking maintenance reliability, automation, or international field service work where I can improve equipment uptime, lead technical teams, troubleshoot complex industrial systems, and support employer-sponsored work permit transfer.

I've improved maintenance reliability and execution at Gerdau Long Steel North America, using SAP PM and Power BI to strengthen work-order efficiency, track equipment performance, and increase PM compliance from 75% to 95%.

At Cascades, I coordinated electrical and mechanical maintenance planning, mobile equipment repairs, certifications, and shutdowns. My work helped reduce reactive failures from 50% to 9% and raised PM compliance from 45% to 92%.

Across progressive roles at Gerdau Metaldom, I led electrical, instrumentation, and automation maintenance for rolling mills, high-frequency welders, and induction systems. I reduced equipment downtime by approximately 18%, improved maintenance program efficiency by 15–20%, and led teams of up to 25 technicians.

I bring hands-on PLC troubleshooting across Rockwell, Siemens, and Omron platforms, along with shutdown coordination, root-cause analysis, predictive maintenance, and technical team training. I'm available for roles across Canada and international field service work.
