What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a safety-focused, hands-on role operating heavy equipment or performing maintenance in a fast-paced manufacturing or warehouse setting, where I can apply troubleshooting, welding and inventory skills and grow into increased technical responsibility.

I am a hands-on heavy equipment operator and material handler with extensive experience operating sit-down and stand-up forklifts, CAT equipment, reach trucks, and backhoes across manufacturing and warehouse environments.

I have worked on maintenance teams troubleshooting pneumatic, hydraulic, mechanical and electrical issues, and gained practical MIG and stick welding experience while supporting fast-moving production lines. I routinely use SAP and Microsoft Office for inventory control, documentation and parts tracking.

I am safety-focused, a fast learner, and comfortable performing routine facilities maintenance, equipment inspections and load/unload operations. I take pride in clear communication, organized tooling and rapid problem-solving under pressure.
