Summary

Organized and dependable maintenance and automation technician, successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude and a Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals. In my current role I work on the production floor responding to machines that are malfunctioning and use knowledge gained on the job to troubleshoot the cause of the malfunction, I also use machine prints, manuals, and maintenance software to aid in the efficient repair of the machine or system.

Currently I'm one of a two person team where I work independently responding to maintenance calls and overseeing all machinery and systems on a 12 hour shift.

I have hands on experience assisting in large repairs such as replacing Hydraulic pumps, Clamp and ejector ball-screw assemblies, and repairing injection units. I have several years of experience as a process technician responding issues with inconsistent parts and processing production runs.
