Experienced trainer and LIDAR specialist with strong leadership and operational expertise.
What I'm looking for
I am a driven training professional and LIDAR specialist with extensive hands-on experience in delivering practical, client-focused training solutions and managing training operations. I combine strong interpersonal skills with a disciplined approach to safety and process optimization.
As Head Trainer, I develop and deliver curricula, recruit and evaluate trainers, manage training budgets, and tailor programs to meet client needs while staying current with industry best practices. I have a track record of improving training effectiveness and maintaining rigorous training records and safety standards.
My technical background includes processing and analyzing LIDAR data, developing data-collection methodologies, and creating detailed reports and visualizations to support mapping projects. I also bring years of operational experience as an equipment operator, mechanical technician, and defensive driving instructor, which informs my practical approach to instruction and evaluation.
I hold relevant safety and instructional certifications and a craft certificate in mechanical engineering. I seek roles where I can lead training programs, apply technical data skills, and improve operational and safety outcomes through effective instruction and process improvements.
