Oversee the preventative maintenance and repairs of 127 vehicles, 88 trailers and 169 pieces of construction type equipment for a local construction company. This also includes various attachments and smaller equipment used on jobs. Currently supervise 5 full time mechanics with 3 service trucks, and 4 part time employees. Maintain a parts inventory of fast moving and PM parts to be readily available for use. Work closely with vendors to negotiate pricing and product quality for parts and outside services. Work closely with project managers and crew leaders to obtain the necessary tools and work items needed to perform their job. Oversee the two onsite fueling stations located at our shop to make sure that we maintain fuel at all times and that the 7 fuel and 2 DEF dispensers are in proper working order at all times. Make sure of proper disposal of waste oil, scrap metal, and garbage at minimal cost or get the best value for our used goods. Oversee the paperwork and ordering of supplies to operate as a certified Virginia state inspection station and make sure that the inspector stays current with his certification. Work closely with the trucking foreman in the daily functions to make sure task are prioritized and handled in a timely fashion. Work with and take recommendations from our safety department to make sure our shop and grounds are OSHA compliant along with the tools and equipment that we send out to a job for personal and scene safety. I have a great working relationship with the owners of the company so I also do any other assigned duties I am tasked to do.

Responded to hazardous calls of all types to mitigate the problem, which included firefighting, HAZMAT response, natural disaster type calls, vehicle accidents etc. Also responded for EMS calls and transported the sick and injured to the hospital while intervening with pre-hospital care to reduce injury or sickness. Performed general maintenance on all apparatus and components and participated in fire and EMS training on a regular basis. I was an instructor at the regional fire academy where new recruits went for initial training. Drove and operated all apparatus to include ambulances , fire engines, 100' ladder truck and rescue boat. I was an acting officer in the department to take the place if the Lieutenant was not there. Performed public education on EMS and fire safety to groups, guest, and citizens.

Ordered all parts and maintained a stocking inventory of fast moving parts and shop supplies for an independent truck repair facility. Services provided were preventative maintenance, both in house and mobile, refer repair, lift gate repair and install, full body shop and truck rentals. Worked with the shop foreman to order all the parts in a timely manner so repairs could be made. I would make adjustments to our stocking inventory if the part was becoming more frequent or was able to purchase for a substantial savings.

Parts manager for a private company who was contracted to the City of Richmond (VA) School Transportation for all fleet maintenance of the school buses. I maintained a parts inventory that we purchased through vendors and used and also parts that were inherited from the city when the contract started. Those parts were older and some were obsolete but through contacts I was able to get rid of about 75% of that inventory. Dealt with the various school bus manufacturer vendors for parts, and local truck part suppliers and tire vendors. Acted in place of the fleet manager in his absence. Worked on a special project when the company did a parts consortium for 11 different school districts throughout Virginia. I helped negotiate deals on parts purchasing for those 11 plus Richmond for better buying power. Mainly focused on filters, batteries, tires, shop supplies, oils, antifreeze. Very successful program.
