I am currently the facilities tech lead at Janicki going on almost a year now, during this time I helped get projects going in the right direction such as getting plans together and ordering material, this also included planning shut downs of production with the productions management team.

Here is a list of things that I do:

• Order material
• Plan projects
• Get the team organized daily on all shifts
• Be involved in all project big or small
• Communicate with maintenance and production management
• Hands on work
• Operate machinery

I take great pride in my work, I want to make sure the work is done correctly the first time and in a timely matter, I keep a positive attitude through out the work days, I believe that is really important part of the job.

I was transferred up to hamilton and started working with the facilities crew up there. I started out cleaning again but then slowly transitioned to full time facilities tech. Through the years some of the things i did were:

• Plumbing, PVC, Prevost, Copper
• Operate forklifts, tele handlers, scissor lifts and booms
• Drywall
• Framing
• Pressure washing
• Help maintain outside facility such as weed eating and mowing

I have been a part of many big projects during these years, but one of them that sticks out most was being given the opportunity to plumb all the vacuum and air lines through out one of the buildings, we ran several thousand feet of pipe.

On the Facilities maintenance team I worked on all sorts of different jobs such as:

• Pressure washing
• Weed eating
• Framing
• Drywall
• Painting

During this time I also helped out with the HVAC crew for several months changing out filters and installing ducting.

As a production helper here at Janicki I worked swing shift, I helped keep all the shops clean by sweeping and taking out the garbage's, I also helped out with keeping the tool boxes organized.
