No education or special training, dropped out of high school junior year. I do believe to be a hardworking person, have the work experience and training to be successful in the industry. Open minded, willing to learn more, grow my person. Committed to maintaining a safe workplace environment and meeting production standards through effective communication and organizational skills.
As a foreman I overlook a flashbutt welding crew. That includes two welders and three labors and a grapple operator. I assist my coworkers in performing a quick and safe job. Prioritizing safety, I make sure everyone wears their proper ppe for each task.
Track maintenance. Cleaning switches, adjusting switches, fixing gauge, changing ties, snow removal on switches, changing rail, building small track panels, removing and installing crossings.
Performed daily routine maintenance on spiker for smooth performance during day. Used daily log book to write down issues with machine. Finish grinding machine was looked at once a month for any issues.
Assisted in preparing rails for flashbutt welding. As to putting track back together after welds, cleaning work area after work was complete.
