Fabrication Manager

OBJECTIVE

My professional objective is to earn a position with a company that has clear-cut goals and growth potential, to which I can contribute and be an asset. I feel that my ability to quickly grasp new ideas and stay abreast of industry innovations keeps me flexible, which I believe, would be an asset to any potential employers.
I am an active and interactive manager that enjoys the hands on approach. I practice open book management and feel that informed employees is the best way to encourage employee involvement.
I also consider my capacity to take the initiative and to make informed and educated decisions would benefit all perspective employers.
Finally, my background both managerial and practical gives me the perspective to look at and analyze situations from several points of view and make a conscious and educated decision.•••••
