Summary
Safety-driven industrial construction professional targeting a Safety Technician role, with 20+ years building refineries, chemical plants, and large industrial sites. Deep, hands-on background in concrete placement/finishing and curing (slabs, foundations, anchor bolts, embeds, grout/epoxy), formwork carpentry, welding, and operating dirt equipment (skid steers, loaders, forklifts). I’ve been in supervision for over 7+ years leading crews, setting clear expectations, planning work, running toolbox talks, and delivering quality work safely and on schedule. I’ve been on the Safety Committee at every job since 2010, performing site-wide audits and walk downs, reviewing JSAs/JHAs for practical controls, assisting incident and near-miss investigations, identifying hazards across trades, and sharing lessons learned to strengthen stop-work culture and keep people working safely.
