Work History
Industrial Journeyman Electrician
F.C.A. / Chrysler Corp.
03.1995 - 01.2023
We are a million square foot manufacturing facility producing torque converters and steering assemblies. I hired into Mound Rd. Engine facility in Detroit before transferring to Ohio. As line electrician my responsibilities were to keep the line up and running. Using mostly Allen Bradley PLC software and laptop. In 2015 I took responsibilities for the Electronics lab. I was the last line of defense in troubleshooting a system before outside contractors were called. I worked closely with Plant Electrical Engineering to diagnosis the most serious problems. Nachi robots, MotoMan, ABB have been trained on repair. I have many classes and years of experience to bring with me.
