PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
These past few years I have enjoyed working with a general contractor in the waste/clean water industry, progressively accepting more management responsibility, having previously designed and serviced sluice gates for North America. I have honed my communication skills to ensure that all stakeholders can see the value of their contributions. From my first position in factory support for medium size xerographic printers, to designing and supporting steel weldments, and now managing stakeholders on waste & clean water construction sites, the goal is always the same, make sure everyone knows their contributions directly affect a successful outcome for the project.
