CODY CASNER
I am a hardworking, dependable professional skilled in heavy equipment operation. In my 23 years of mining and asphalt plant experience, I have excelled in loader operation as well as skidster, dozer, backhoe, bobcat, excavator, and articulated haul truck operation. During my career, I have primarily focused on aggregate production/recycling and plant maintenance and am experienced in aggregate demo, removal, crushing and excavation, hot asphalt plant operation, and equipment maintenance and repair. Additionally, I have supervised plant operations and crews. While in the Army, I gained education and experience in engineer equipment repair.
