Accomplishments
Starting as a production associate at Vlasic, I have grown to be a leading electrician and mechanic. Starting as a traypack operator I was offered the opportunity to make the transition to maintenance as a mechanical apprentice. Since coming to maintenance I helped through major break downs not only mechanical but also electrical and programming as well. Currently I have been able to start optimizing systems such as balancing line speeds for line 4. Helping to understand and trouble shoot new systems such as our new seeder on line 1, along with the new tamper on line 3. Every new project I try to dedicate time to understand how it functions and be able to anticipate future problems. One of my strong suits is programming and IT. Helping when our network is taken down, like we experienced recently when we had dual IP taking down our VLAN.
