EXPERIENCE
4-6-2019 – 8-6-2019
COMMERCIAL LANDSCAPE LABORER, drm maintenance and management
Crew driver responsible for loading and unloading and securing industrial mowers on a commercial truck. I applied lawn care (mowing, weed whipping, and using blowers) on sites owned by corporations such as DTE Energy. Sites were large with some spanning up to 8 miles. Daily tasks were physically demanding, included harsh weather conditions, and needed to be completed on a strict schedule. Collaborating with other crews required teamwork and organization. Most days on the job lasted 8 to 12 hours including weekends.
