I managed unique projects and daily maintenance/repair tasks for the largest privately-owned, non-profit zoo in the United States. ➥ With an eye for aesthetics, potential, and customer service, transformed a recreation reinforcement effort into the new build of an iconic, pirate-themed playscape that remains today. Designed and incorporated large lighting features, splash pads, 20x15 boat, animal enclosures, and misting systems. Procured materials and ensured safety compliance, serving as the craftsman for the metal and woodwork of a venue that became a beloved living art project. ➥ Served as a go-to for the Facilities Department and special requests. Asked for enclosure ideas, would assess, consult, and draw up bespoke, cost-effective ideas, filling a need without what would normally require a capital campaign.➥ Led an initiative replacing every posting in the zoo with robust metal signage. Used trade experience daily across electrical, plumbing, HVAC, carpentry, concrete, low-voltage, welding, fabrication, plumbing, and excavation disciplines. ➥ Installed critical misting environments, constantly testing sustainable materials to assess durability in the intense elements.➥ Maintained compliance and enforcement of safety regulations, zoo policies, and procedures within the amusement park environment. Supervised other tradesmen in SSOP, OSHA compliance, and safe practices working from heights, working in proximity to dangerous animals and maintaining public safety during construction. ➥ Designed and constructed new exhibits, animal containment, public structures, and marketing displays. Coordinated the daily repair, fabrication, and services needed to maintain the safety, function, and appearance of animal enclosures, existing exhibits, and all public areas. Show less
