Maintenance Engineer
Profile
I am a highly qualified maintenance engineer with over 20 years’ experience in all phases of
building maintenance, construction and repair. I am particularly adept in the fields of electrical,
carpentry, welding, sheetrock/taping/spackling, painting, tile work, light plumbing and
troubleshooting/diagnosing problems. I am well-versed in all safety regulations, as well as upkeep of
MSDS sheets and OSHA Required MSDS logs.
I have been a Firefighter in the Oceanside, New York Fire Department since 1982, serving as
both a Lieutenant and a Trustee. I am currently in the process of relocating to Florida in the aftermath
of Superstorm Sandy, and bring with me a tremendous wealth of knowledge and hands-on expertise.
I will gladly provide references and letters of recommendation upon request.
