• My duties included fitting precut and preformed mild steel into fixtures to be tacked and welded for
• The manufacturing of industrial fitness equipment. My duties also included reading blueprints and Q&A
• For surety of formed parts before being processed. GMAW was used to attach formed mild steel parts in fixtures.

Worked in research and development, Helped in the design and construction of prototypes for several types of hydraulic car and truck lifts. Also, I headed up tooling and construction of fixtures for manufacturing of hydraulic lifts, once design was completed and prototypes were constructed and tested and manufacturing had begun, my job would also include overlooking
manufacturing and quality control of each hydraulic lift being built for resale. Welding mild steel with FCAW, GMAW, drill press, hydraulic press, sheet metal shear brake, cold saw, band saw, stationary grinders, hand tools, measuring tools, blueprint reading and layout, and forklift.

My duties included repair and construction of steel rubbish containers, Blueprint reading, and sheet metal layout, SMAW/GMAW, Plasma torch, oxy acetylene welding, cutting, and brazing. Mechanical repair and maintenance of diesel trucks. Running and maintaining hydraulic compactors and driving forklift
