Johnny Q.

Recently certified Class 1 driver (MELT graduate, Air Brake / Q endorsement) with 8+ years working directly on active mine and oilsands sites (Syncrude, Suncor, CNRL) — including site safety compliance, equipment operation, and freight/parts logistics. Holds a full mine-site safety ticket stack (H2S Alive, CSO/BSO, Fall Protection, Confined Space) uncommon among new Class 1 grads, allowing faster site access and onboarding. Seeking an entry-level or mentored Class 1 position with an oilsands/mine-site logistics carrier.

Warehouse Parts Technician at CNRL (2024-12 – 2026-03)

• Manage high-volume parts inventory for heavy mining equipment fleets (Caterpillar, Komatsu haul trucks, shovels, and support equipment) on an active mine site.
• Coordinate daily hot-shot delivery schedules and dispatch timing with drivers to meet strict maintenance-schedule deadlines — direct exposure to route planning and delivery-window pressures.
• Verify manifests and Bills of Lading (BOL) on every shipment, maintaining 100% freight accuracy — the same load-verification and paperwork standards audited in Class 1 driving roles.

Equipment Operator / Site Support at UniTeam Pro Services (2022-01 – 2024-12)

• Operated skid steers and heavy loaders during seasonal snow removal — moving, positioning, and maneuvering heavy machinery in tight, high-traffic site conditions.
• Loaded and unloaded heavy equipment on trailers, applying safe load-securement practices directly transferable to Class 1 freight handling.
• Operated and transported hauling equipment, including trailers, to efficiently move materials, tools, and construction debris to and from job sites.

Safety Watch / Site Technician at AWS Group (Syncrude / Suncor) (2017-06 – 2022-12)

• Conducted daily toolbox talks and kept FLHA/FLRA documentation current to job scope — the same audited compliance paperwork required for oilsands site access and Class 1 driver logs.
• Performed safety watch duties (confined space, fire watch, line watch, traffic control) and operated two-way radio communication — core requirements for driving on active mine-site roads.
• Operated skid steers with bucket, broom, and breaker attachments to clear heavy debris around the facility.
