ANDREW HENDERSON
Objective In the past three plus years I have gained valuable
skills in the automation engineering field, having had
the opportunity to learn parts of the process from
design and implementation to production and testing.
I have been able to utilize my electrical knowledge,
automation software and computer skills and my hands
on skills to assist in completing automation projects
for processes in pharmaceuticals, chemical process,
food industry and recycling. At this point in my
career I seek to further my engineering skills to the
point of managing projects as a control engineer. I
am looking to work for a company where my particular
skill set will allow me to immediately provide a
valuable asset to the company while increasing my
skills to the point of being a senior engineer.
