I have worked in the construction industry for the past 20 years. My past experience includes working as a heavy equipment operator on machinery such as backhoes, front end loaders, rubber tire loaders, paving equipment, curbing equipment and large graders. Specifically, I am experienced in the operation of a 600 ‘Komatsu’ backhoe as well as a 963 track loader, a 643 rubber tire ‘Komatsu’; and other heavy construction related machinery. As well as operation, I provide the knowledge to repair and maintain the heavy equipment on the job; thereby reducing downtime during operations in the event of equipment break downs.

I also have extensive experience in reading and interpreting construction plans, prints and shop drawings during field operations, and the ability to direct work based on the plans. My project experience includes day to day management of crews during construction, daily management of paperwork such as supply requests, crew timesheets and daily operations reports. In addition to oversight and management of the crews, I am also experienced enough with the construction practices to perform crew duties for smaller projects or during times when crews may be understaffed or experience “no-shows” on a day’s production.

Operation and knowledge of survey equipment is another key asset that I provide. I am well versed in the set-up and operation of several types of survey lasers as well as level equipment frequently needed during construction
