Administration
I am interested in supporting a team of motivated, hardworking individuals, who care about the quality of the product he or she is making. I consistently maintain a positive one-on-one team relationship, summarize all concerns and evaluate needed corrections, repairs or maintenance. Schedule and perform corrections and/or repairs, enter repairs to the data system, conduct quality control checks and reports and address conformity to operation specifications. I conduct internal auditing of operation infrastructure and assist in creating corrective action and preventative maintenance. I keep a safe and hazardous-free workplace. I would love for my next job to be a career, and a team and product that I am proud to be a part of.
