ARMAND S. FLOREZ

Moreno Valley, CA *****

Objective:

I am seeking to continue my career by filling an available position within your company where it is believed I will serve best, with great advancement opportunities and a comprehensive benefits package.

I am an organized, determined, and dedicated professional with years of progressive experience, in both the electrical and mechanical fields within New Product Development departments of several company's. Originally started my career as a Draftsman in 1979 and held other job titles through 2004 which included positions as an Associate Design Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, and a Sr. Electrical Designer.

In 2005, a co-worker and myself previously held a position within an existing disaster restoration company called ServiceMaster® Clean as a Crew Chief. He left the company to start his own Residential/Commercial Disaster Restoration Company, and asked if I would help him get it started. I ended up leaving ServiceMaster and partnered up with him. In this capacity my responsibility was to contribute as the Office Manager/Estimator which included running the software required to create estimates, process claims, provide customer service, and negotiate final numbers on estimates when required with both clients and insurance adjusters.

Most recently, I've had 5+ years experience in a Commercial/Residential HVAC company holding positions within this company as a HVAC Installer, Lead Installer, and Foreman.

Please note that I am customer service oriented, and work well with others.
