• Followed strict safety protocols at all times while operating a train
• Coupled air brakes and electrical connections between trains and as well as some maintenance.

•Drove my crew throughout the yard when working as a utility driver (another job available besides conductor and engineer) or picked them up when needed.

• Interpreted various signals to start, stop and back-up train or set and release air brake as well as fix hose leaks when brakes were not properly working.
• Installed EOT ( end of train) devices for train safety.

• Operated chemical processing equipment to ensure smooth production flow.
• Filled totes with hoses with attached handles with check valves to thier respective weights using a digital scale.
• Worked mainly with hydrogen peroxide 2-10% in strength and diluted it sometimes if need with water or other raw materials.
• Label and apply safety tags/ security safety seals on totes, drums plastic and steel.
• Sent samples in containers to lab and tested PH levels when required.
• Monitored chemical reactions and adjusted conditions to maintain quality standards.
• Unloaded shipping containers of plastic totes and drums with forklifts to put on wooden or plastic pallets.
• Conducted routine inspections of equipment for safety and compliance.

• As a temporary worker operated remote controlled overhead cranes to move very large crankshafts into vats of chrome.
• Used many different tools like sledge hammers, grinder wheels, cutting wheels and chisels to remove spot welds to split the crankshaft in half.
• Used a grinder to grind down crankshaft journal lobes to size using a micrometer to thousands of an inch depending on the order measurements for the crankshaft.
• Installed counter weights on crankshafts if needed.
• Began training for sandblasting before leaving.

• Fabricate natural limestone, sandstone, brick and other natural stones for use in commercial and residential construction projects for example: fire places, stone walkways or patios, chimney caps, window sills, buildings etc.
• Cut+sand and polish stone in preparation for diverse projects. Used a tape measures and square to mark stones with pencils and prepare for the diamond saw to cut to size and angle.
• Read auto CAD blueprint to get all the measurements correct for the stone to be fabricated to.
• Inspected finished products to ensure they meet quality standards before delivery or installation
• Loaded and unloaded flatbed semi’s with foklifts, overhead cranes and boom lifts when needed.
• Used a grinder with different grits of sandpapers to sand/polish stone to required coarseness of finish.
• Palletize and shrink wrap product as it comes off a conveyor belt system.
• Measure and cut steel beams to standard sizes
• Use planer machine to plane limestone and sandstone as well as some medium sized stone cutting machines to achieve diverse sizes and dimensions on stone.
