Work Experience:

Hello,

Thank you for considering my application to Helmets to Hardhats. I am proud to have served as an Army Medic both in the field and as a hospital medic for 5 years. I am humbled to have had the opportunity to save my fellow Veteran's lives and bring solid leadership skills in situations that are time-sensitive. Since leaving the Army I have focused in a variety of Laborer positions and particularly enjoy utilizing a variety of equipment: forklifts, excavator, skid-steer, and payloader. I am a solid hard worker. I enjoy staying busy and getting a job done on time or earlier. I am also someone who is not afraid of anything. I like to work and take pride in keeping my work environment organized around me. I also have a strong team spirt and get along with everyone. This was a critical skill in the Army as well as working with safety in mind. My co-workers become friends. I definitely am a hands-on learner and enjoy physical shifts. I thrive in a busy work environment where I can keep busy, help others and make a difference every day. My previous work experience includes working many 16 hour shifts and I would be proud to bring my skills and work ethic to the union trades. Thanks again. Jerry Kingbird Jr
