RECOGNITIONS/OTHER SKILLS
I have a can do attitude and work well with others. I am always open and willing to learn new things. I believe one of my strongest traits in the maintenance and engineering field is the ability to troubleshoot a problem, learn about that problem and fix that problem with little or no direction. I have a great knowledge of how things work, especially machines (washing machines, dryers, boilers, hot water heaters, dishwashers) to name a few. I have been known to save my companies money by being able to fix and repair items instead of having to throw them away and buy new ones.
