"I've worked at First Solar for almost two years now. When I first started working there, I quickly noticed the need for improvement in certain areas and was not the only one to have done so. In these past few years, nothing has really been accomplished in trying to fix these issues. I have great co-workers and managers, but it feels like we're ultimately powerless to do anything about it. I can't fault anyone I work with, this feels like an issue with upper management. Amazing teammates and work environment, but it feels very stagnant."

"Thank you for considering me for this opportunity as a Sr Controls Engineer in Houston. I have extensive experience with small and large Automation and Control Systems implementation and development of many projects using Wonderware InTouch/ArcestrA, Allen Bradley FactoryTalk View and Allen Bradley RSLogix 5000 and older PLCs. I have worked on older Intellution iFix projects. I take great pride in doing it right. I have demonstrated my ability to use my talent and years of experience to exceed the project expectations in many industries. I can take the leadership role in the development and execution of projects or partner with team members to quickly achieve goals, as well as work independently. I am willing to work extra hours to get the job done and travel as needed. I have a superior ability to program and troubleshoot. I am effective in troubleshooting the problems associated with communication systems. I possess a thorough knowledge of the Wonderware ArchestrA and I have developed systems with many of other popular HMI packages. I am proficient in Microsoft Office software, particularly Word and Excel when used for developing reports and support utilities. I have designed a number of Control Panels, some for Class 1 Div 2 and MCCs. I look forward to discussing more about how I can lend a hand to help develop your Automation Solutions. Thank you. PS: I have an extensive background in all areas of System Integration of the leading Control System products."
