Committed to delivering innovative product solutions.
Pilot plant research work in botanical research to develop new product solutions for customers. With minimal supervision I am a lab assistant and followed strict instructions performing lab tests, lab analysis's and data record keeping. I also perform factory production trial runs in pilot plants and routine safety checks and routine maintenance on equipment. I also regular transfer hazardous solvents and extracts from building to building and coordinate with the safety team on proper storage and disposal of wastes.
I packaged dry chemical products into 60 lb bags using an ARODO packaging machine on a team, and sometimes manually. I purified raw materials using a pressurized filter press and an Industrial Centrifuge on my own. I packaged Ethanol Gasoline Catalytic Enzyme product into dissolvable pouches using a form filter machine on my own. I milled a liquid raw material using a bead mill on my own. I staged raw materials and I have some warehouse experience. I used a sit down and stand up forklift in this job around the clock.
It was contract work. I performed various duties, such as, testing for mold in a building. Quarantining an area and setting up a plastic bubble to contain airborne spores. Setting up HEPA filter machines to capture airborne spores, filter the air, and keep the air moving where it can be safely expelled outside. I wore full face respirator and I gutted rooms and structures usually only leaving the bare bones behind. I scrubbed clean wooden stud and load bearing beams and I painted them over with antifungal sealant. I hauled all garbage and debris removed to a dumpster and offloaded it at the dump.
