Derek Gimlin

I am a safety-first equipment operator with over 3 years of experience in construction, railroad, and wildland fire operations. My background has equipped me with the skills to solve field problems under pressure, coordinate logistics across teams, and ensure the safety and productivity of my crew. I am OSHA 10 certified and have a strong mechanical aptitude, which allows me to troubleshoot heavy equipment effectively.

In my previous role as a Heavy Equipment Operator at Crestline Construction, I operated various earth-moving equipment to complete complex civil projects on tight timelines. I took personal responsibility for job site safety and was proactive in diagnosing and reporting equipment issues to reduce downtime. My experience as a Conductor Trainee in a Class I Railroad further honed my ability to adapt to high-risk environments, emphasizing the importance of clear communication and compliance with regulations.

As I look to transition into a fully remote technical support role, I am eager to leverage my hands-on experience to help customers reduce downtime and improve equipment performance. I am committed to providing exceptional service and support, ensuring that clients can operate their equipment efficiently and safely.
