CALVIN BOWIE Ph 334-***-****

Technical Implementor email: *********@*****.***

Goal: With only five or so years remaining in my planned career, I’d like to share my varied skills and experiences by contributing as a team member, a staff member, technical sales, product design, technical trainer, or a manufacturing/construction/ installation manager. My focus is for a responsibility that uses a broad spectrum of my proven talents.

About me: I thrive on challenges. Multitasking has always been a necessity in my career. I am a diligent, fast paced problem solver with proven knowledge and abilities in facility construction, equipment installation, pneumatics, hydraulics, PLC capabilities, CNC integration, motion control, automation and how to combine these technologies for success.

My years of experience provides great insight into what works and what will not work. My hands on experience provides the ability to get it improved, get it tooled, get it fixed, get it made, get it implemented and lead others to make it successful and profitable. My innovativeness is hard to beat. I will quickly prove what knowledge and experience can achieve in profitability. I am comfortable and effective working for or coordinating with both large and small companies. I am ready and willing to relocate in the Southeast US, or to work temporary assignments.
