I started at Modern Welding as a Pipe Welder and put myself th ru college to
become a Designer and Estimator. After some corporate cuts I was put in charge of
many positions, including designing, sales, estimating, purchasing of (special
materials), and production scheduling and t rucking. I enjoyed the day-to-day
challenges and after some 10 years the company decided to cut back on more
personnel.
W hile being employed at the Modern Welding Company I was in charge of
t aking sales calls, giving estimates, and doing the design. Also coordinating with
t he shop supervisor so all the products f low th ru the shop in a t imely manner. I
handled all the t rucking, from hiring outside companies to making sure that our
d rivers stayed busy and was home on weekends. After the product gets shipped I
usually had to go to the sites to talk with the contractors about issues that can
make the next shipment go smoother. I also would have to go to job sites during to
b id procedure to get all the information needed to be competitive.
I believe that I can bring a lot to your company with minimal t raining. I
would like to sit down with you and talk more about your requirement and my
experiences.
T hank you for your time,
Sincerely
Kenneth J Simpson
