Jeremy Shepherd

I would like to nominate Jeremy Shepherd for the Utah County employee of the month! Jeremy has been working in the Fleet Services Division as the Fleet Warehouse Administrator for about a year and a half now. In that time he has really shown a perfect example of the right attitude and work ethic along with making workplace interactions enjoyable and fun. He shows up to work ready to accomplish what ever tasks are assigned to him. He has been charged with learning a new software system where there are aspects that are his sole responsibility. He has risen to that call by not only using the new system and what tools are available to him there but learning the obsolete system well enough to cross check needed items for vehicle routine maintenance and repairs. He will then have the needed materials and parts billed and to the technician as fast as possible, often before the parts are needed to complete the repairs.

Jeremy has already on several occasions jumped in to help in any capacity that he noticed was needed. For example, more than once, when it was close to quitting time or a driver of a county vehicle needed the vehicle, he has put on a pair of gloves and just started helping mount and balance a set of tires for the vehicle. He also is constantly being proactive on projects going on in the shop and asking his supervisors if they need anything for it or if they want him to go pick up anything needed to finish the project. He then organizes trips for parts to multiple vendors for the most efficient use of time.

Last but definitely not least. Jeremy has an awesome attitude and makes everyone he deals with feel like their needs, no matter how large or small, are a top priority. He gets along with everyone and seems to perfectly balance work ethic and social skills to improve the work environment. He always strives to understand peoples requests when purchasing parts and materials and will often recommend things that may also be needed or may make the repair process more efficient or cost effective. He in general works extremely hard to improve the work experience as a whole. We are very lucky to have him here at Utah County!
