Summary
At Bu-Mac Engineering, I have gained 13 years experience working as a Fitter Machinist/CNC programmer with propriety software. I have grown my expertise in CAD/CAM software, precision measuring and machining/fabricating processes. Mechanical aptitude and proactive approach to troubleshooting has resulted in consistently completing projects on time and within tolerance. I am trusted to look after apprentices doing overtime and opening/locking up the workshop. I have worked on everything from food processing machinery to movie props, tractors to race cars. I pride myself in being reliable and on time. I often work lots of overtime whenever needed. The time has come where I am wanting to further my skills and step into a supervisory position.
