Maintenance Supervisor October 2023 - Current

tEquipment uptime/availability 98.8% for 2021. Equipment is not run 24/7 but is required to be available 24/7 for the customer to use at any time.

t2021 & 2024 PM completion rate > 99.1%.

tMaintain $2 mm spare parts inventory. A very large inventory due to a low tolerance for equipment down time.

tCoordinated with internal company controls group and electron beam accelerator manufacturer to replace 4 outdated PLC’s on time and on budget.

tIn spite of a comprehensive maintenance agreement, the electron beam accelerator manufacturer was unable to support replacing a shorted compensation magnet during the 2021 holidays.
