Additional Information
As an operator at Invista, we also have the chance to work with maintenance regularly. I am currently working on my level 2 mechanic out of a top level 3 mechanic. During my time with Invista I have had the chance to work 2 different units. In the ADN unit i qualified in all 3 jobs of the refining unit. I currently work in the HMD unit now where I have qualified in 2 of 4 jobs in this unit which is HMD refining and the tank farm associated with HMD refining, HMD Synthesis unit which consists of several high pressure compressors. I am currently working on my qualification in the railcar loading unit of HMD. I have also been involved in permitting for 2 major outages for Invista. 2020 ADN outage and 2022 HMD outage, permitted for advanced hotwork and confined space work in our distillation columns. I truly enjoy challenging myself to learn whatever process or mechanical equipment I am involved with to be proactive and not reactive when a problem occurs.
