1. Brennen E Chavez
I am a leader experienced in construction management with great
communication and personal skills. I have acquired my NABCEP Installers and
Technical Sales Certificates and have the highest attention to detail when it comes to
safety. I have been responsible for leading crews of up to 25 installers on large
photovoltaic projects while overseeing sub contractors and handling relevant
paperwork for five years. I strongly value pre-planning and thinking ahead of every
situation to avoid delays, budgeting mistakes, and safety incidents.
