Hi Security,

Samuel Melanson from Eagle Creek Renewable Energy suggested we take a look at your background.

You've got a lot of the same hands-on coordination we like for a Purchasing & Logistics Coordinator-type role, just from the operations side. Your SCADA monitoring, equipment troubleshooting, preventative maintenance, and start-up/shutdown work all stood out, especially since that kind of steady follow-through is useful in this opening.

At Eagle Creek Renewable Energy, what were you mainly responsible for day to day when it came to keeping operations moving and handling the work around parts, equipment, or maintenance support?

Also, is Englewood, OH still your current location? And is that still the best number to reach you, if you'd like to talk?

If you're open to it, I'd be glad to set up a quick call Wednesday, November 4 at 9:45 AM, Tuesday, November 3 at 12:15 PM, or Tuesday, November 3 at 3:30 PM.

Best,
Emily W
