Maintenance Manager @ Sun Gro Horticulture

About

I am a hard working person who is continually learning everything I can about every aspect of Industrial Maintenance. I also strive to be the best leader I can be for my team. I have had a great career mentoring young people to be the best they can be. I have had great successes with energy saving programs as well as process improvements and equipment refurbish projects as cost savings, efficiency and reliability measures. I seek out a position as a team leader, leading a team that is motivated to improve, innovate and conquer challenge. Do you have a team that needs a leader?
