Kevin Govan

Motivated and hardworking individual with a certification in Heavy Equipment Operation and education in basic Welding from Butte community college. I believe in working hard and having integrity in everything I do. I have a fiancé, 2 stepdaughters, and 2 new grandbabies!! Everything I do is for my family, it is what's most important to me. 

With a strong foundation in steel construction and fabrication, I’ve contributed to a wide range of commercial and residential projects involving remodeling, demolition, and structural steelwork. My experience extends to warehouse operations and the safe operation of heavy equipment including forklifts, aerial boom lifts, scissor lifts, and Gradalls. I’ve also handled logistics by driving 26-foot box trucks and performing general labor duties across various job sites, ensuring smooth workflow and adherence to safety standards.

While enrolled in the Heavy Equipment Operator Certification Program at Butte Community College, I completed 165 documented hours of hands-on training with a wide range of heavy machinery. I operated D1 and D2 bulldozers, 305, 306, 308, 310, and 312 excavators, 420 backhoes, 920- and 938-wheel loaders, and 259D3 and 289D3 skid steers (All equipment was caterpillar/bobcat). I gained experience using specialized attachments such as masticators and hydraulic hammers for concrete demolition and processing. My training included tasks such as slot dozing, trenching (including trenching with a bench), and excavation. I also worked on gravel processing operations, which involved loading dirty gravel, removing rebar, sifting clean concrete through a vibrating grate, and loading the material into dump trucks. In addition, I completed “welding 20” with course study in oxyfuel cutting and welding, (S.M.A.W.) and Shielded Metal Arc Welding. (6010 and 7018 rod)
