Jonathan Laperle

I am an early-career construction equipment mechanic. I completed my Workplace Apprenticeship Program (PAMT) at Battlefield Equipment Rentals in Sherbrooke, then continued my journey at the Gatineau branch. I enjoy learning and taking on new challenges.

I know I still have experience to gain, but I am motivated and determined to keep developing my skills. I adapt quickly to new machines, new brands, and new working methods. I am open to different positions that will allow me to continue growing and contributing to the company's success.
