I used a torque wrench to check the bolts and screws after being shot by online operators with air wrenches into position on automotive engines and frames to ensure they met the clients specifications. I would document any findings and turn in a write up to the client shift supervisor as well as my own supervisor for J. A. King. Conducted data review and followed standard practices to find solutions. Performed routine maintenance and calibration on testing equipment.

 I am a DOT (Department Of Transportation) certified ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Commission) approved F- Endorsement Delivery Driver Of Wine & Spirits in the state of Tennessee. I drive a 28ft box truck with a 26,000 pound limit and I haul and deliver product based on a set route determined by customer demand.

I worked as a sit down forklift driver in the Inbound/Receiving department. I was responsible for putting away freight using a forklift and stacking it properly for the convenience of the Outbound department to locate. I was also given the opportunity to support the lead man as Team Captain and I was also responsible for training new hires in our department.

• I worked in the stocking department with this company for 2 years. I used an RF scanner to read, scan and designate the proper locations for replenishment of books and magazines for order fulfillment. I made several attempts to learn different aspects of the company through job bidding but I was never given the opportunity to learn and grow.

During my time with Advanced Composites, I started off in the production department as a machine operator. I was responsible for operating a control panel and maintaining my line to produce automotive plastic that met the company's expectations. I worked in production for three years and I excelled to the level of raw material operator with the responsibilities of replenishing 8 lines with the materials needed for operation and grade changes using a forklift. Based on a job bid and a strong work ethic I was promoted to the position of Safety Coordinator and given the opportunity to work with the Safety & Certifications manager as his administrative assistant. As Safety Coordinator, I was responsible for new hire orientation/training and also forklift certification for those new hires. I was the Safety, Health & Environmental Team Leader. This team was a collective of employees, leads and supervisors from all departments. We would meet monthly to conduct mandatory inspections and discuss potential hazards and corrective actions for all findings. My responsibilities also included walk throughs with the Fire Marshall, Water Department and Insurance Inspectors to make sure the company did not violate any codes/laws. I would do PowerPoint presentations to management and employees to report accident investigation findings and relay any safety related matters of concern or appreciation. My training included a 10hr Train-the-Trainer Forklift class, 30hr OSHA Compliance General Safety course, 32hr Lead Auditor class, as well as many other safety related seminars and webinars.
