Summary

I am a highly capable and technically proficient individual with a proven history of successfully diagnosing and resolving complex mechanical issues on a wide range of heavy machinery. My background in hands-on maintenance and breakdown repairs has instilled in me a deep understanding of operational efficiency, team leading, the critical importance of minimizing downtime, and the practical considerations of project execution. I am now seeking to leverage this valuable field experience in a Project Management, Maintenance Coordinator or operations manager role, transitioning my skills to a more strategic and leadership-focused environment.

My experience on the tools provides a strong foundation for effectively managing projects and teams by offering a real-world perspective on challenges and solutions. I am eager to embrace increased responsibility and lead a team full-time, applying my understanding of technical requirements and workflow optimization.


I am confident in my ability to adapt quickly to the

demands of a professional management setting and am motivated to apply my practical expertise to drive successful outcomes and contribute to a more strategic level within the organization.
