Stores/Tool Crib/Receiving Clerk
Elwood Staffing / Aersale
My responsibilities as a stores clerk are to properly stock bins with the correct hardware using RF scanners. I also assist mechanics at the store counter to search part numbers that they are asking for, pick the parts and other items they are requesting to complete their duties, and issue out the parts and other items to the aircraft's job card using a computer. My responsibilities as a tool crib clerk are to assist the mechanics that are searching for tooling to complete their jobs. I start by entering in the part number they provide into our search data base of our entire parts catalog via computer. From there I can find the location of the part and retrieve it. From there I issue out the tool or tools to the aircraft's job card using a computer. My responsibilities as a receiving clerk are to count the boxes and verify the count with the FedEx or UPS courier. I verify the parts that I receive using a computer to determine which parts were ordered for each aircraft by searching their purchase orders. Some parts wouldn't arrive with a purchase order. And those moments arose, it is my job to create a purchase order for those parts. After the parts have been verified and purchase order printed I pass those parts along to the inspection department.

Production Operator
Cummins Fuel Systems
My responsibilities as a production operator at Cummins Fuel Systems was to prepare the fuel injector nozzle to its very first initial drill out. First was to check the tool life of the tools inside the Wasino lathe machine. Replace any tools that were about to time out. Also run a "rougher" check on the rougher tools of the lathe to insure they were still in spec. After the checks of the tools were complete we were instructed to place parts every few hours in the gaging machines to insure their quality throughout the shift. We had to change out the trays for the nozzles and replace them with more blank nozzles. We had a parts washer that we took our finished parts to so that they could be cleaned of the oil and any remaining slivers of metal that remained inside the nozzle. From the wash tank we would do a quality check of the parts to insure that the nozzle had been drilled entirely.
