What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters team collaboration and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a results-driven project leader with over 8 years of hands-on experience in mechanical engineering technology. My career has been marked by a proven track record of managing cross-functional teams and technical operations in high-paced environments. I excel in leading initiatives from concept to execution, ensuring that project goals are met on time and within scope. My strong communication skills and problem-solving abilities have been pivotal in fostering team development and driving process improvements.

Currently, I serve as the Head Route Setter and Assistant General Manager at Evolution Boulders, where I spearheaded the launch and daily operations of a new indoor climbing facility. My role involves directing multiple cross-departmental projects, managing a team of over 10 staff, and developing training programs to enhance staff performance. Previously, I have held positions that required meticulous project planning and execution, including my tenure as an Engineering Associate, where I coordinated field inspections and produced technical drawings using AutoCAD.
