Work History

Production Line Leader

Bridgetown Natural Foods
05.2023 - Current

I started in warehouse driving a forklift delivering ingredients and other product to all the lines so they can keep making granola and granola bars. I also would load trailers of finished products so they can be shipped out. I also would unload incoming product, receive them and put them away in the warehouse.

On October 28th 2024 I was promoted to line lead for line five then moved to line two and right now I am the line lead for line three. As a line line lead it is my responsibility to ensure that the line is running and operating in a safe and timely matter and that we are able to hit the rates needed. I make sure that all our employees are doing the job that they are assigned to do and if unable to do so i train or coach them so they can do so. when breaks and lunches are needed I move employees around or i will even cover them myself to ensure that the line does not stop. If I find a issue or problem its my responsibility to escalate it to a supervisor so it can be dealt with or fixed right away. At the end of each shift I gather all paperwork into a packet and make sure it's all filled out correctly and turn it into my supervisor.
