I worked under production manager, David Jackson and former Production Manager, John Hinton. My schedule during this time was Monday through Friday 7pm to 5am, and on call during the weekend. I was responsible for both night shifts and the extrusion department. I ensured all the change overs were complete, along with assigned jobs. I maintained machines, troubleshooted, and any maintenance issues as well as fixed any problems and replaced parts to get the machines back up in a timely manner. I held this position from 2020 to 2022. When I was transferred to the Montgomery location, I was put back into the lead operator position.
