Jeff Atvars

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated the ability to manage complex tasks, resolve issues efficiently, and maintain positive client relationships. My experience as a Senior Geomatics Plan Checker and scuba diving instructor required clear communication, attention to detail, and the ability to explain technical information in a way that clients could easily understand—skills that directly translate to a customer service role.
