I am interested in a professional position. My experience is very broad and I have been involved in almost every phase of the public utility operations. From pipeline design, to surveying, to technical writing, I have been directed many major projects from inception to design. My most recent employment with a natural gas utility involved managing and directing a staff of thirty individuals serving 22,500 commercial, industrial and residential customers.
My background would be a good fit for almost any pipeline/public works entity that involved engineering, materials, operations, or land development. I have managed the development of Operation & Maintenance Plans, Specifications, Contracts, Materials Descriptions, and Procedures. During my career, I have also been involved in numerous special projects that have included pipeline construction (i.e. route selection, survey, land acquisition, and permitting). I have managed engineering, drafting, inspection, corrosion, and right-of-way professionals. Please see my resume attached for my major accomplishments.
I would be happy to provide you with any additional information that you may require. Thank you for your consideration for employment.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey W. Elliott
