OBJECTIVE
To work with an established, distinguished company in a role that will utilize my leadership skills as well as my ability to install, maintain, and repair equipment and machinery. Utilizing my talents, I am seeking a career with advancement opportunities.

QUALIFICATIONS
Thirty one years licensed and certified in the drilling and groundwater protection industry with no violations. I have installed many thousands of feet of domestic, industrial, commercial, and municipal gravel-pack, screened water wells. I have also installed many observation and monitor wells, conducted sieve analysis, and taken split-spoon samples, picture samples, and water samples for chemical and bacteriological analysis.

I installed and maintained all of the new equipment for a brick manufacturing plant, which included complete conveyer systems, HVAC systems, kiln controls with heat up to ••••• degrees Fahrenheit, screening, packaging, water systems, and recycled waste water systems. This process involved working with sand, clay, diesel fuel, hydraulic oil, natural gas, and high voltage •••••phase electrical systems. I also have limited experience with PLCs and refrigeration units. During all my years of employment, I have been my own maintenance technician for all the equipment under my control, including drill rigs, heavy equipment, and vehicles. I have also as many years of experience in welding of pipe and machinery, pipe fitting, steel fabrication, plumbing and electrical installation, troubleshooting, and repair. I have experience with all types of limit switches. I am experienced in hydraulic and mechanical installation and repairs.

I have excellent computer skills including experience with Microsoft Word, Excel, Power Point, and Windows. I also possess very strong leadership and organizational abilities; once I am assigned a task, I am very meticulous and know and follow the proper procedures to perform the job correctly.
