Quality Control Technician.

I started as a entry level machine operator, was promoted to utility operator, and then promoted to quality control technician. My job was to train new employees on proper machine operation, what to look for in the parts, and how to trim flash off of the parts correctly. I was the only quality technician on 2nd shift so I was in charge of 18 presses. I had to collect parts twice a shift, do dimensions on every press and destructive testing(using calipers, bore gauges, heights gauges, ect), and enter my results on a program called SAP. I also had to sign off on every bin of parts before being shipped to the customer and before a machine could run I had to sign off and document the parts first dimension and results of destructive testing.

Maintenance Technician/2nd Shift Production Lead

I was hired as a production lead for a packaging line. I was in charge and supervised a group of temporary employees from 8-12 people typically. I was trained as a maintenance technician for 2nd shift so in addition to being a production lead I also had to keep all machines in the plant running and perform preventative maintenance. After being there for a few months I was promoted to 2nd shift supervisor which my duties were to keep operating efficiency at or above 100%. Work with management in order to enforce policy, safety, and overall just keep the efficiency up to that standard.

Raw Materials Operating Technician/ Furnace Operating Technician

I started off as a blast furnace laborer which was shoveling 8 hours a day, walking coke conveyor belts that filled the furnace, running bobcats, and training on every job in my department. I operated forklifts, frontend loaders, bulldozers, and a train engine. Once out of training I was promoted to Raw Materials Operating Technician. I ran train engines, dumped rail cars full of coke, lime stone, scrap metals, slag, iron ore and other raw materials in order to keep the furnace full. I also ran a larry car and had to fill the furnace with different batch requirements depending on what the furnace needed. I worked with overhead crane operators to fill my pecor car with the proper materials to dump into bins that filled the furnace. I took another promotion to Furnace Operating Technician. My duties were to fill special rail cars with molten iron, take iron and slag samples, use tools to clean the mud gun and cut off the 20ft drill bits they use to drill into the furnace with a cutting torch. When the furnace was down we had to do maintenance on the furnace, troth, and everything that the iron touched.

Skills:

I am punctual, experienced, hardworking, will do anything to make sure I am working as safe and efficient as possible, I can operate most equipment in an industrial setting, I have experience in multiple sides of manufacturing which I think makes me more versatile than a usual operator, honest, and want to make myself a valuable asset to the company that I’m working for by just doing the best that I can do and strive to be greater for the company.
