Dublin, Texas

I planned, organized, and successfully executed a variety of dairy construction projects. In addition, I also provided general maintenance & repairs for many different types of systems across 11 different locations. At each dairy, I was able to improve the operation by innovating more effect systems and methods that would reduce future complications for maintenance or construction. Some skill sets that I further developed and learned include:- Water systems: Wells, soaker lines, water troughs, water lines, flush systems, irrigation float pumps for lagoons, ADS piping, and general plumbing. - Construction: installation of water and drain lines, design layouts for new barn and feed lot, barn construction, calculating contractor bids, contracting out jobs, and commodity tanks. - Trouble shooting: solving electrical problems, electrical rotations, proper discharge, breaker box- fuse and wiring, wiring floats and wells. - General maintenance: motor/belt & fan replacement, plasma cutting & welding, grooving lanes, truck & tractor maintenance, etc.
