Qualifications I have been a Piledriver/ marine constructor in

B.C. and Alberta since 1998.I have also

achieved the required apprenticeship time as a

Bridgeman/ Piledriver with Marine Construction

and land based pile driving companies in Gold

River, Nanaimo, Vancouver, and Grande Prairie

Alberta; and have gained a great deal of

knowledge in Pile Driving, Soil Densification,

Booming ground construction and repair, and

wharf and dock construction. My work with

heavy equipment has offered me the knowledge

to troubleshoot, maintain and repair large as

well as small equipment. I am also able to learn

quickly and operate any equipment that has

been presented to me. I am currently a class B

lattice boom hydraulic crane operator with hours

required to achieve full red seal crane operator

certificate. I have also achieved many hours

operating Junttan and Liehberr Piling Rigs.

I have taken part in many further education and

upgrading courses. I am proficient in the design

program Roadeng, as well as Microsoft Excel,

Microsoft Word, and many other programs. My

experiences and hobbies have made me a

valuable asset to any company that would hire

me. I am eager to learn and to pass on what I

have learned.
