EXPERIENCE FITTER/WELDER/SHIFT SUPERVISOR RND CONTRACTORS FONTANA

5/27/14- current 20.00 hr. lots of overtime

I was hired as a lead welder/ fitter, within the first month they fired my supervisor and

gave me his job. It is a second shift position with a crew of about 10. However, being

that this company is in a growing stage and it doesn’t seem that management has

prepared themselves properly for this growth, there are a lot of defects in their

system. The bottom line is, I am not happy where I am at, and am looking to relocate

to a better working environment

FITTER/WELDER THE ROBERTS COMPANY (NORTH CAROLINA)

4/2011-1/1/2014 22.50 HR + LOTS OF O.T

Originally hired as a welder, my skills as a fitter/fabricator were quickly recognized

and put to use, as fitters were in higher demand. About a year and a half after being

hired on, I was given a crew leader position. I currently have a crew varying from 4 to

8 workers that work beside me building various types of vessels from the ground up.

The Roberts company is an ASME code shop which builds pressure vessels for

companies in industries such as pharmaceutical, paper manufacturing, and silicone

product process to name a few. I obtained my 2G and 3G ASME GMAW certifications

with this company. I am currently a member of the companies’ safety committee as

we are striving to obtain the OSHA “star” program status.

WELDER AMFAB INC. (NEW MEXICO)

3/15/08-11-27-09

After taking a trip to New Mexico, I accepted a job offer with Amfab Inc. This company

builds (in house) the structural beams for buildings such as casinos, hospitals, and

high rise buildings using AISC standards. Here I obtained my AISC certification with a

1G GMAW weld test. Some of the beams we constructed were used on building

meeting earthquake code standards. At this company I worked on projects such as:

the crazy horse casino in Reno, NV, the City hotel and casino in Las Vegas, and

various university of Utah hospital expansions to name a few.

FITTER/FABRICATOR CARVER MACHINE WORKS (NORTH CAROLINA)

4/15/98-3/5/08

I started at carver as an entry level metal worker. I spent 2 years in the

grinding/finishing shop where we prepared metal for welding, and once the parts

made their way through the various processes came back to our shop for final

finishing before being shipped to the customer. Some of my duties in the finishing

shop were: grinding, liquid epoxying, polishing, painting, sandblasting, and steam

cleaning. Once I felt that I had learned all I could in this shop, I applied for an opening

in the fabrication dept. I felt I could really advance and gain a lot more skill here. After

acquiring this position, I signed up at a local community college to help me get my

welding skills going. The class I took was an entry level stick welding class (which we

didn’t do a lot of at carver), so after completing my projects for the class I would

switch over to the tig and mig machines to get practice with weld types that we more

commonly used in the shop. I also completed a few other classes while with carver

such as ISO 9000, and blueprint reading. I was also a member of Carvers’ safety

committee. I gained a wide array of skill while with Carver machine. I feel that they

helped prepare me for my future as a fitter/welder.

COMMUNICATIO As crew leader at work, I head up morning gang box safety meetings before we start

N our work day to discuss safety issues and any needed topics. I was also previously

President of an automotive club a few years back, and would be in front of the club

discussing issues and upcoming events. Some of this may fall in the leadership

category also.

LEADERSHIP In the position I hold at my current job, I have to keep up with a crew of workers which

are all building various parts to complete a vessel or project. I feel that I do my job

well since I still hold that title. Knowing how to talk to co-workers and how to treat

others goes a long way in my book!
