As the Operations manager I oversaw four separate facilities, Site Safety and Security, Vendors, Transportation (Including International shipping), managed injury and accidents on-site as well as post accident administrative claims. I worked with FDA inspectors, building and fire Inspectors, oversaw building projects and contractors. I hold certificates and worked directly with inspectors onsite for Federal, local and International food safety inspections.
