REGIONAL DIRECTOR:

Upon employment as the Director of education to a business that had

over 800 clients with paid tuition's and only a third attending. After one

week of observing the quality of service, I promptly rewrote the manuals,

retrained the employees, and led them to the execution of the method. I

spoke with all un-attending clients, and helped the marketing department in

placing life to the new image.

In 3 months we sky rocketed our attendance from 300+ to 2000+. After

6 months of achieving record sales throughout the nation, I was promoted to

Regional Director, opened two schools, hired 20 teachers, trained them, and

counseled directors in other regions.

Responsibilities: Coordinate, and track employee training. Conduct

yearly refresher training. Administer daily, weekly, and monthly tests.

Process all new hires, and train for the familiarization of the companies'

policies. Develop and give presentations to clients on our services.

Improvement of courses and procedures for the company according to clients'

needs.

SAFETY MANAGER:

I started out with this company as a painter helper. Throughout the

first 8 months I worked my way up to the Painter Blaster position, but more

importantly I stopped 3 jobs which potentially saved lives. Two months

later I was promoted to a Safety Tech position. I began by taking over the

daily safety meeting, inspiring, and elevating the way people viewed safety

at work as well as at home. I quickly started taking on as many

responsibilities as possible, as well as taking as much training in order

to become successful for the employees and company. Scaffold, harness, fire

extinguisher, and equipment inspections were some responsibilities along

with the record keeping. Job safety audits, first aids, accident

investigations, and handing out P.P.E. while keeping inventory. I then

sprinkled my flavor into the employee orientations, trainings,

presentations, development and updating of training manuals. Though I was

now indulged in the safety department, taking many training courses, I

continued taking college courses and getting NCCER certified in all crafts

in order to be more effective in the creation of pro-active measures. After

three quick years I was promoted to a Safety Manager position in another

plant. The field work remained the same but with a few more

responsibilities. I had to report to and have weekly meetings with the

client. Fill out and manage OSHA 300, 301 accident reporting.

FOREMAN:

With 3 years of experience as the leader of a different crews, in

different environments to different crafts, I have been success in every

and all tasks asked of me. From getting the job done within the scope

planned, to the safety of each of the team members under my supervision,

and to the complete satisfaction on quality of the finish product. I

accept every new mission on the production side as a new team experience

using different motivation methods to inspire the employees, achieve

greater success, and help build new projects that in the end will help

millions of people. These positions have been pleasing because I have

firsthand responsibility to make sure that safety of each person is number

one.

PLANNER ESTIMATOR:

After the last project was completed, Turner had brought me back to

Texas as the Civil Planner, on a maintenance project. I ran Purchase

Orders, Work Orders, Work requests, planning out Scaffold, Paint,

Insulation, electric, and concrete jobs, evaluating the hours, cost as well

as any additional equipment needed. Reporting directly to the client,

taking pictures, making drawings, and graphing out the before and what the

final product would look like.
