Matthew J. Plizga

Inverness,Illinois

Summary

My name is Matthew Plizga, I graduated from Hobart Institute of Welding Technology in November of 2024. I am proficient in SMAW welding processes, as well as GTAW, GMAW and FCAW. I am AWS process qualified in FCAW 1" Carbon Steel 3G /4G, SMAW 1" Carbon Steel 3G /4G, and GTAW 2" schedule 80 stainless steel pipe 6G. I also have experience in residential wiring, home building, PLC design, and some electrical engineering. During my time at Nation Pizza and Foods, as a machine operator, I gained a very heightened sense of detail, urgency, and sense for workplace safety. In my free time I enjoy oil painting, and being outside experiencing nature.
