Operation Manager
CurrentI oversee all aspects of this Airport GSE (ground support equipment) Company. I'm involved in every aspect of the day to day operations of the company. I am the "go to" man whenever Andy (President) is not available for all customers and employees. I have daily meetings with Andy to prioritize our day and week for the entire company and see to it that it is done. I do the entire Airport badging, new and renew, scheduling of classes, fingerprinting and follow ups. I do the HR including all the employee, company and personnel problems, conflicts, interviewing, hiring, employee files, time sheets and follow ups and continuing the search for new mechanics. I do all the DMV needs for us and our customers. I attend most of Andy's meetings with customers on and off the airport, responsible for interacting, information exchange and follow up. I work continuously with George and Andy on sourcing parts, finding suppliers, buying parts, setting up manuals and picking up items. Customers now call me directly to solve their fleet problems, questions and scheduling their repairs. I give estimates on vehicle/equipment repairs and time lines for completions and re-delivery of their vehicles/equipment. When George (shop foreman) is out I prioritize and direct the mechanics jobs as needed. I source, negotiate, mark up and purchase all new and used vehicles and equipment for our customers and our company. I sell off used equipment as needed. I'm constantly working on various projects such as, re-fueling, golf carts, fleet lists, audits, contracts, equipment add ons and upgrades, ect.... I did the Hazmat business plan for the company and keep us in compliance with hazmat & waste disposal. I get the company new customers whenever possible and I'm always looking for more ways make us money and save us money on all occasions.
