J.J. Martin
I am a party chief with thirty years of experience, seeking
permanent full time employment. I'm a motivated, dependable self starter who
enjoys surveying in just about all its forms and I take great pride in my
work.
I began surveying in the army setting battle stations and radar sites in 1981
and was an IO in the army from 1981-1986. When I got out of the army, the
economy wasn't the best for surveying so I did some carpentry until it picked
up in '88. I took a job as a rodman with Garber Surveying in Hutchinson KS.
and worked up to IO. I worked there until 1991. Realizing that further
advancement with the company would be virtually impossible, I accepted a
position with The Nelson Corp. in Dallas, TX. also as an I-man with the
possibility of moving up. I left there as a Jr. Party Chief in 1993 to work
with a small company and within three months, I was doing all the calcs and
scheduling the crews work along with doing all the research and dealing with
all the contractors. It was very long hours and very hectic as I was also
doing the field work with a three man crew. I stayed there until late '94
when the disagreements over bounced paychecks became too regular, I then did
contract work for Boyle Engineering for a year where I did various types of
work that included construction but also route surveys in national parks and
even monitoring a landslide in Utah. It was exciting and rewarding work but
with children, I needed health benefits and reluctantly left for a position
with Jones and Boyd Engineering.
I have done many types of surveying over the years, acted as Field
coordinator and even done some drafting and feel I would be an asset to any
company.
Objective: I am seeking permanent, full time employment with an established
Engineering/Surveying firm I can call home.
