Summary

I have over 18 months experience as an Operator and over 18 months as a supervisor at Mobile Rosin I set up valves and pumps to pump oil products from train rail cars and tanker trucks to and from multiple tanks through out the plant and I trained all the operators and supervised that the valves are set up correctly to avoid pumping into the wrong tanks. I used truck strapping charts to load the truck if we could not use the tank to calculate the correct measurement to make sure the weight we load is correct. I also worked in the lab to test the products acid and amine numbers until they met correct specs for the various products.

I also have 11 months as an Extruder operator at Ascend Performance Materials in Foley Al. I ran the Extruder machines and made plastic pellets. I also performed changeovers to switch materials and make different products and performed routine and preventive maintenance on the extruder machines as needed.
