Self Employed
I obtained a contract with Nextel Communications over seeing
their MOS (Main Switching Office). I installed projects and I
was solely responsible for 80% of their Florida Market MSO
installs, and 70% of their N.Y. market MSO installs. All the
venders had to submit a MOP to me before any work could be done
in the brand-new offices. I would mark the floor for each
vender, set up a staging area, and run POTS line for each
vender. My employees set all the Relay Racks and A row of
enhanced DSX bays for the venders. I was solely responsible to
make sure all venders reached Nextel’s milestones. During these
projects, I was confronted by Motorola and asked to take on
their EBTS installs for Nextel MSO’S, so I added a crew for
them. Then, I was confronted again by Nextel to do there Cell
site’s. I bought 4 Trucks loaded with tools and my crews went
out with Longitude/Latitude and an on board GPS to a new cell
site building. They hooked up a generator to the electrical box
and turned on the lights and started building a cell site from
the ground up. When they left it was tested and turned up. I ran
my own company for 5 years; I did everything from helping with
the billing, to drumming up work, to installing.
