Objective:
I am seeking an opportunity to apply extensive experience in water/waste water construction and operations,
pressure treatment procedures, heavy equipment, utility operations and quality assurance to a challenging career
where strong communication, project management, material/supply and troubleshooting expertise can be
effectively utilized. I have recently returned home from COB Speicher Iraq where I was stationed and working
as a contractor for the US Government. I currently live in Grenada, MS but my family and I are excited about
moving to a new area and making a new start. Thank you for any consideration.
Qualifications:
From 2000 – 2006, I was the Group Leader/Lead Operator for a wood preservation company in Mississippi. I
was initially hired as a heavy equipment operator. I was in charge of material movement utilizing forklifts,
knuckle boom loaders, skid steer loaders and front end loaders. I am a certified Powered Industrial Truck
Operator, meaning I have been trained and certified by Taylor Forklifts, Caterpillar, and Bobcat. After two years
at this position, I was promoted to the Treating Department as the Boiler/Waste Water operator. Here, it was my
responsibility to ensure that the waste water treatment plant was ran according to state and federal
environmental regulations as well as performing maintenance on all the pumps, valves, plumbing and electrical
control panels. To accomplish this mission, it was my duty to separate oils and chemicals used in the wood
preservation process from accumulated and runoff water, maintaining records of discharge volume, storage tank
levels, rainfall, pH, biological activity, maintaining inventory of chemicals and records of daily usage, and
ordering equipment and chemicals for the treatment plant. It was also my responsibility to maintain all water
systems for the boiler ensuring the water hardness levels were kept in specifications.
In 2006, I accepted a Foreman’s position with a utility company overseeing the QA/QC of materials and
equipment. My mission was to lead a crew of 5 employees through vigorous inspections of utility poles, power
lines, overhead structures and underground electrical components and performing safety checks of all
construction equipment. Using job specific equipment, we were assigned to numerous utility companies to test
pole strength, load bearing calculations, feeder wire life, proper grounding and underground equipment status
i.e. telephone connections, fiber optics and grounding equipment. I was also charged with ordering any
necessary equipment and supplies needed to complete the mission as well as timekeeping and payroll for all
employees.
In January 2008, I mobilized to Iraq as a reverse osmosis water purification foreman. This was an experience
like none other. As a foreman, it was my responsibility to direct an eight man multi-national crew in the initial
building and start up of numerous water treatment facilities throughout Iraq. We were charged with ordering of
all necessary equipment and materials for each set up using multiple DOD material control tracking programs
such as Maximo, Steam and Bugseye. Once the treatment plants were operational, I was then responsible for the
day to day operations and maintenance of the units, all raw and potable water storage, distribution, sample
collection, safety and quality audits, management of five water sampling routes, ensure log entries, equipment
calibration and documentation, update and review of a tank tracking system containing over 800 potable water
storage tanks, logistical and administration of all water tank/truck super-chlorination records, submit work
orders for all work needed and received, inventory of all equipment, coordinating with Preventive Medicine for
inspections of tanks and trucks, and ordering supplies necessary for mission success.
