Summary

I have over 20 years experience in Industrial/Chemical Manufacturing, with extensive mechanical knowledge. I pride myself on prioritizing safety above productivity. I have designed and implemented several procedures that have increased the safety of an operation while still ensuring that production output does not drop below an acceptable rate. I am able to multitask and coordinate with multiple departments simultaneously, to ensure that materials and finished product are received and shipped within the target timeframes.
