Served as a quality inspector and product touch-up team member for aviation parts resulting in assisting SKILLS Inc. weekend shift sending out parts with extremely specific standards within provided blueprints.

One of a few after business slowed down to come in early and stay late to prepare work area and begin / continue to process complex aviation parts, resulting in their being ready to go to the customer on time or earlier than the expected delivery date.

Trained, assisted and monitored high school students and other department staff that helped when we required more personnel. Voluntarily sought out opportunities to be cross-trained during slow times to ensure product processes were completed in a timely manner.

Continuiously made suggestions and created methods and tools to accommidate limited working space, ie... Take-Down Tour cart and procedures to get kits with multiple parts expidited without sacrificing quality.

Developed shared resource relationships with other departments for mutual benefit because of the Federal Aviation Administration specic requirements and procedures. Always reviewed documents for at least the previous two steps completed.

Always strived to maintain clean work space, free of FOD or a different color paint, which helped ensured products did not degrade to an unshippable / delayed status. Frequently reminded others to do the same, especially with parts nearly ready to be finaled for packaging and transport.
