Doing maintenance in plants such as putting belts on conveyors, installing/fixing pumps, ship separations with grain. For an out of state job we took samples of grain, load/unload rail cars and 18 wheelers, clean out large vessels, open/close vents, fix level indicators and manually check levels on large vessels.

I was assigned to unload/load trailers with pipe, check inventory, and move material around the yard. Cut grass around the yard and office, Pick up and drop off material/fittings and tools to and from plants.
