Hello,
I am looking for a long term, full time position with a company that sees its employees as its most valuable resource. Ideally, there would be the opportunity for growth and advancement.
I am a red seal journeyman of 2 years with 10 years prior welding experience which included custom fabrication, fitting and repairs. I am well experienced in SMAW, TIG and MIG and have good skills with FCAW and MCAW. I have extensive experience working with aluminum and stainless steel and have welded mild steel in production line, custom fabrication and industrial settings.
I currently have several welding certifications but I am always looking to improve the skills I have and to acquire new skills and knowledge. In addition to my welding tickets, I also have some safety certifications and am fully committed to promoting safety in the workplace.
Please feel free to contact me any time if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Mike Heidt
