Justin Godwin Email and Phone Number

I'm currently studying for my electrical contractor's licence. I'm taking steps to better myself and my family. Working for myself allows me to be the leader that I am. I know my worth and I will hold myself to nothing less. I can not and will not be molded into the vision of what someone wants me to be. I do not feel the need to answer to a "boss" for someone else's actions or lack thereof. It is my hard work that should be valued. My morals and ethics are what I value in business, and it's what my customers will remember me by. At the end of the day, customer satisfaction is my main objective and it's what I will build my company around.

I was just promoted and I'm excited for the new opportunity. I look forward to bringing my knowledge from the field and my previous job as an estimator to Gibson Electric. I'm learning a new way to estimate with McCormick on screen take off.

In charge of pre-construction job management, estimating and field operations. Responsible for pre-bid, job coordination/scheduling and employee management.

As a service technician for Gibson I did basic maintenance at the Pilot Truck stops from South Florida to South Georgia. The majority of my service work was at Pilot but I also did basic service work at Century Link substations around Florida as well as taking calls calls at local residences and small businesses.When service calls got slow, I was working on whatever large project that needed to be done. During my time at Gibson I assisted on adding the new chiller and HVAC system at Signature Brand's popcorn and decoration plants in Ocala. I installed high voltage power, low voltage controls and fire alarm system at Sig Brands. I also worked on the chiller expansion at Lockheed Martin. My last project was in Gainesville, upgrading the street lighting around the university.

During my time estimating I worked on dozens of projects. From small build outs to schools, doctor's offices and car dealerships, I bid them all. As an estimator I was responsible for taking what I learned in the field and applying it to the pre construction and planning aspect. I dealt with contractors during pre bid meetings and also follow up calls post bid. I did the estimates start to finish doing long hand take offs then entering them into McCormick's estimating software on the computer. I was responsible for dealing with suppliers and putting together the final bid package to send out to general contractors.

My father started Encore at the beginning of my senior year of high school. I enrolled in the ojt program and spent my afternoons doing odds and ins around the office as well as helping on small projects in the field. After graduating high school I went to work full time and really began to hone in on my skills. It didn't take me long to grasp the trade and before long I was running my own crew. I was the lead electrician on a few small custom homes before switching to commercial work.After switching to commercial I became a job superintendent. As a superintendent I was in charge of running large crews, coordinating work with contractors and other trades, keeping my employees busy and bringing my job in under budget in a cost effective and safe manner. My projects included the Marion County Building Department, NH Jones Elementary, Harbor View Elementary, and multiple private doctor's offices, just to name a few. When the recession of 2008 hit I moved into the office and began estimating. I learned estimating by long hand and then quickly learned the McCormick electrical estimating program. During my time estimating I secured many projects and also worked in the field to manage them. I also took the occasional service call which I enjoyed as a change of pace.In 2015 I left my father to embark on my own path. I just didn't feel as if I had reached my full potential. I also wanted a better relationship with him outside of work and working 50+ hours a week along side him didn't help.

My career as an electrician began here. My father was part owner of the company, but that didn't change my position or the way I learned the trade. Just like every electrician, I started by digging ditches. On winter and summer breaks during high school I was a helper. While working here I learned how to install light fixtures and receptacles.
