Achievements:

Saving money for the company I worked for- On a daily basis I

would help to save money or cut costs when not needed. Such as

finding one great employee rather than two average employees.

Improving customer satisfaction- By making sure to meet all

deadlines either on time or prior to their date. Ensuring the

customers were always happy with the home or business we built

or renovated.

Shortening machine down time- With my mechanic background, when

a machine was broken down or not acting right, I would jump

right in to make an improvement if possible, even though I was

the foreman and it technically was not my job. Once again

lowering costs, rather than hiring a mechanic to fix the

machinery.

Great operating skills of most machines
