     Hello, my name is Kenneth Anderson. I am currently employed at Ericsson Inc. as a construction manager, and am looking for a new company to call home. I have been in the telecommunication industry since 2004 and have successfully adapted to the new technologies and challenges as they have presented themselves throughout the years. I am proficient with computers and programs such as Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, and field related software such as Handheld Software tools, and firmware GUIs (ie. Andrews and Katharine tilt controllers).

 

     I have spent my career building several different networks for multiple clients and have always striven to meet if not exceed their expectations. When building a network for a client I always have safety, quality, and cost in mind, and hold that as a core value to my success in the industry. I have built and supervised projects for AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, Telus, and Clear Wire.

 

     I would like to thank you for the time you have taken to read a little bit about me, and hope that we can get to know each other more in the future. Please take some additional time to look over my job history in the following pages. Please feel free to call or email me with any additional questions.

 

Best Regards,

                       Kenneth Anderson
