Thomas Thompson

My job duties consist of installing fire alarm monitoring systems in a variety of locations, performing fire alarm inspections to ensure proper functioning and code compliance, testing newly installed fire alarms, and troubleshooting and repairing these systems as needed.

I work mainly with Edwards and Fire Lite products. I perform other duties such as wiring and overseeing projects to completion. I conduct field testing, smoke and heat detector installation. I operate the electronic components of panel operations, monitoring of fire pumps and sprinklers.

Along with these duties, I also assist with installation of gas piping and wiring for Helion Gas system, as well as install vesda air sampling systems in medical locations.

I oversaw day to day operations of Union Pacific headquarters. I monitored the building's operating system's lighting, chillers, HVAC, plumbing and fire systems in order to maintain the standards of this class A facility.

I assisted with load transfers on the electrical system, generator loading run tests, and repairing CRAH units to maintain ambient temperatures and humidity levels in the data center.

I also repaired various lighting, plumbing, and heating and air equipment.

I demonstrated strong problem-solving skills by quickly identifying issues during equipment operation, implementing corrective actions to prevent further complications or potential hazards arising within the work environment.

I enhanced equipment performance by implementing preventive maintenance procedures and addressing issues promptly. I also made necessary adjustments to machinery for optimum performance.

I started at CEI as an apprentice, learning commercial, industrial, and residential wiring. I then completed testing to hold a Journeyman license. I then began overseeing jobs and trained apprentice electricians, sharing knowledge, techniques, and best practices for success in the trade. I gradually moved up to a Foreman. Some specifics of my job experience include building commercial entities from the ground up to completed projects, multi plex residential, and industrial automation facilities such as the Marriot Hotel, churches, schools, retail stores, restaurants, and Bimbo Bakery operations.

I collaborated with other tradespeople to complete complex projects efficiently and meet deadlines.
