EXPERIENCE

HVAC Mechanic August 2014 – Currently Brymak & Associates Ft. Jackson Army Base, South Carolina

As a Sub Contractor, my responsibilities included, overseeing the heating and air conditioning chillers and heat pumps throughout 2 elementary schools as well as the maintenance of appliances in the kitchen and also any plumbing and electrical issues that may arise from daily use. These units are 3 phase high voltage and not under 240volts so implementing safety is a must. I have to constantly build relationships and communicate effectively with Principals, teachers, and other vendors to make them aware of any service or preventative maintenance that will occur on any of the equipment. I do have a vast knowledge of carpentry, plumbing, electrical, appliance repair, HVAC and other issues that will occur in a home as well as any commercial building.

Maintenance Supervisor October 2013 – August 2014 Bluebird Property Management Columbia, South Carolina

My position as a residential maintenance supervisor entails demonstrating professionalism to all personnel, collaborating with residents, vendors, home owners and office staff to ensure all work orders are budget approved and completed in a timely and efficient manner. Each home is different and I am constantly encountering new challenges with split system air units to heat pumps. I also diagnose and repair gas and electric water heaters, roof leaks, plumbing issues, electrical problems, appliance diagnosis and repairs and all challenges that come with being a maintenance supervisor. Other responsibilities include ordering supplies, keeping a record of inventory and how many supplies are being used every week. I also perform ground duties which include lawn cutting, trimming and weed control.

There are approximately 125 houses and apartment units throughout the Columbia area that I oversee as well as performing market readies, scheduling vendors, painters or other services. Some of the properties maybe class A or the lower end of the scale.

Maintenance Manager / Supervisor January 2011 - October 2013

Polo Village Luxury Apartments Columbia South Carolina

Overseeing the property of 312 units on 14 buildings is challenging in itself. As a class A property Maintenance Supervisor my primary objective is to adhere to all residents’ maintenance requests in a timely and professional manner and making sure the property is a safe and enjoyable place for them to reside. I also delegate responsibilities to the technicians to ensure the work load is being met within a 24 hour time frame. My responsibilities also include scheduling specific vendors for painting, carpet cleaning and cleaning as well as scheduling for outside bidding vendors such as electricians, roofers, carpet installations etc. Ordering supplies as needed and keeping an inventory of all products that are currently being stored or used. My other responsibility includes overseeing the budget and staying within the margin that is budgeted for certain projects monthly. Every resident who has established a relationship with me on site, including my technicians and other coworkers can attest to my high quality standard of work. Because I deliver the highest quality of professionalism, building relationships and expertise in repairs, all of my residents ask for me specifically and not the other technicians when it comes to the hard problem solving tasks. I like to lead by example and not make my technicians do anything I am not willing to do myself. If you are looking for the best of the best and in need of high detailed quality of work then I am willing to join your team and offer 22 years’ experience of my services with gratitude.
