Organized the company shop so that others could quickly and efficiently retrieve/unload tools and materials. I also ensured that all tools and mobile work platforms were in safe working order.

Job duties/ job description is the same as above, however the Penhall is a globally sized company.   I worked very closely with utility contractors, road maintenance and construction, water lines, and construction and demolition of commercial buildings.  While at Penhall, I was appointed to the company's national employee training council and helped to implement new training techniques and safety protocols and requirements as well as train new employees from different locations and shops from around the Midwest region of America.

All aspects of underwater construction.  This includes but is not limited to welding and torching, heavy and light rigging, hydraulic and pneumatic tools both in and out of the water, concrete pumping, water treatment pipe-fitting, installation and repair, ship and dam maintenance, non-destructive testing, and bridge maintenance, construction, and demolition.  The use of extremely heavy machinery such as heavy loaders, bulldozers, and super wenches was a common necessity. I worked in a variety of nuclear power plants performing any number of tasks such as pipe and valve maintenance, cleaning, applying protective coatings and more.  This was an extremely unique work experience as it allowed me an opportunity to work all around the United States at an early age and meet people from all over the world.  The experiences of particular job taught me to be extremely managerial with my time, and the time of others, for the sake of safety and project progression.   Communication and dependability are of the highest importance in this field.
