Profile
I’m a goal and result orientated individual, who fosters a positive and team orientated work environment with good work habits
and ethics. I’m used to a high paced, high pressure and time sensitive environment. I’ve been tasked as a “shift millwright” for
the past three years. Which involved my team and myself (regular plant maintenance team), troubleshooting plant issues,
sourcing parts, developing execution plans and performing the work. I’ve helped commission new installations and de-
commissioning of old machinery. I enjoy continual education, and passing my knowledge and experience on to new employees
and mentoring new apprentices.
