Summary

Problem solving is what 90 % off what engineering is all about. If I was to highlight one of my strong points this would be it, creativity is all part of this process. The creative side of me is expressed in CAD and more recently Google SketchUp. My out of the box thinking with a hands-on approach to solving problems is what I'm all about. I believe that one must be able to do a function themselves before expecting others to do the same task. Seasoned Workshop Manager versed in allocating resources, coordinating workload and maintaining schedules. Effective at managing supplies and providing technical expertise to employees. Focused on keeping operations running smoothly and employees on-task to produce high-quality work. Knowledgeable about inventory, project, and team management. Excellent communication and relationship-management skills. Detail-oriented team player with strong organizational skills. Ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously with a high degree of accuracy.
