What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead or support utility and construction work where I can apply my underground infrastructure, equipment operation, safety, and crew leadership experience.

I've spent 10 years in U.S. construction and utilities, including eight years as a Foreman leading crews of up to 22 employees on utility upgrades for mobile home parks.

I supervise underground gas, water, and electrical installation and relocation, along with excavation, trenching, drainage, sewer work, and main and service line repairs. I read plans, establish utility depths and elevations, and communicate directly with inspectors, customers, and utility representatives.

I train new employees, lead toolbox safety meetings, follow OSHA procedures, and complete project reports. My field experience includes operating Bobcat and JCB equipment, dump trucks, Ditch Witch drilling equipment, and pneumatic underground tools.

I've also assembled industrial equipment for oil and gas and power generation applications at Pantex-Ennerflo Systems, installing motors, pumps, valves, piping, and hydraulic connections. My hands-on background also includes automotive repair, drywall finishing, and advanced English communication.
