I started at caterpillar in Mapleton as a ladle repairman. i was laid off in February 2020. i was recalled in March of 2020 to go work at the Morton logistics facility. I was there until November of 2020. while in Morton I worked as an order picker in the high rise. I used a computer as a guide to pick parts from a conveyor that delivered parts to my work station where i counted and packaged parts to be sent to customers and other logistics facility. I was good at the job, getting quota most days and very few claims. i transferred back to Mapleton because i preferred manufacturing better and enjoyed working in the foundry more. As a ladle repairman I have a done a little bit of everything having to do with the melting process and delivery of it to the rest of the facility pour zones. My main job being making sure the pour zones have clean and safe ladles. I chip, patch, and mud them. When they are no longer usable knock them out and recast them. I'm also responsible for maintaining and relining holders and crucibles. I have always made sure to chip in and do my fair share while learning how to do things I have never done like operate heavy machinery and operating over head cranes.
