Professional Summary

I received my Journeyman (Red Seal) Heavy Equipment Technician certificate in 1995, and worked in various capacities as a heavy duty technician, including lead hand and shop foreman positions. While recovering from injury in 2017, I worked as a security guard and received my Alberta Security Guard Certificate from the Canadian Academy of Guard Training in 2019, as well as my Alberta Security Services and Investigators Act Individual License. I recently completed my certificate in Articulated Rock Truck Operator, and look forward to working as a heavy equipment operator. Along with a clean driver’s abstract and a Class 3 motor vehicle license, I have an extensive technical background and knowledge in heavy duty mechanics. I have strong communication skills, am detail oriented, organized, accountable, responsible, and an adaptive team player with excellent work ethic. I also view myself to be an excellent role model, a good, positive minded leader and team worker supporting other staff and management.
