General Laborer/Machine Operator/Forklift Operator
Packaging Corporation of America
12.2014 - 01.2019
- Started working at the baler by bringing bins of trash from every machine so it can be shredded and made into bales.
- Then worked as a helper in a rotary cutter machine, helped the machine assistant feed long and heavy sheets of paper to the machine so the operator can do his order. Also, would check the order file to see what paints were to be needed for that particular day.
- I was later moved to work in a flexo folding gluer machine as a helper, I would usually rotate stations as the helper such as I would be feeding the machine or I would go up front and stack the boxes into a unit and send them out to shipping. They had to be properly tagged. Sometimes when the assistant operator would be on vacation or take a day off I would usually take over his spot for the time being. I would also be responsible to bring the paints and to make sure all orders run properly with their assigned paint job.
- I had the opportunity to start learning how to drive a sit-down forklift to help bring paper for the machine lines. Unload and load trucks in receiving and shipping.
- Got to be trained in the unitizer, this machine typically straps all the units coming from all the machines operating during shift. They have to be stiff so no box bundle pops out during the shipping process.
- Got promoted to start training to be a machine operator for a Bobst Folding Gluer. Had 5 weeks of training and then I was left on my own to prove if I can do it. I was successful in operating that machine and also got 4 extra helpers. 2 feeder workers, a forklift driver to help bring material to the line and also unitize the units. Lastly, 1 stacker worker to tag every unit that was sent out.
