Monte Holsenbeck

Responsible for the direct supervision of represented employees working design, engineering, fabrication, machining and production of one-off custom cars and motorcycles.

• Trained [Number] assemblers and provided adequate knowledge about [Type] processes.

Responsible for the direct supervision of represented employees working on the BMW G05, G06 and G07 liftgate production.

• Ensured production line was producing high quality parts, within tolerance, and under desired cycle times.
• Defined clear targets and objectives and communicated to other team members.

Responsible for the direct supervision of represented employees installing the BMW G05, G06 and G07 production line. Worked with Mechanical, Electrical, Air and Water, Robotic and PLC teams to install production line to specifications.

• Removed pre-existing line from location and worked directly with SMX team to ensure new line was installed to blueprint specifications.
• Ensured safety zones have been established and tested to prevent production associates from being injured once line was operational.
• Improved overall project efficiency by developing standardized procedures for common installation tasks.

Assembled tooling and fixtures to blueprint for the PACCAR Trucking line: (Backwall, Floorpan, RT Door, LT Door). Preformed final inspections on all fixtures before release and installation in line.

• Interpreted blueprints accurately, building tooling and fixtures to exact specifications.
• Cleaned and maintained tools, equipment and worksites.

Lead, on-site, machinist for the G05 Body-In-White production line. Machined needed replacement parts for the initial start up of the entire G05 line. Also modified existing tooling to accommodate needed changes to achieve desires dimensions. Created blueprint drawings for modified tooling for future replacement parts.

Worked with a team of engineers to design and fabricate hundreds of prototype parts. Worked with AutoCAD for concept drawings and assembly designs. Often machined, welded and fabricated first time parts myself to achieve deadlines for customers.

• Worked closely with engineers and assisted with testing of [Type] products.
• Developed strong working relationships with cross-functional teams for improved collaboration in engineering projects.
• Participated actively in safety training sessions to promote a safe work environment within the engineering department.
• Created 3D models from 2D drawings.

Worked directly with graduate students to create tooling for experiments. Students would have an idea for an experiment they wanted to conduct but no way to hold the material they wanted to test. Students would bring me the material, tell me how they wanted to hold it and in what way the wanted to move said material during the experiment. I would then create a fixture to conduct the experiment. Most experiments were conducted in semi-conductors or in an MRI machine. Therefore, no magnetic materials could be used in most experiments.

Also, worked with outside departments to machine and fabricate other parts as needed.

• Lathes, Milling Machines, Drill Presses, Surface Grinders, Heli-Arc or Tig Welding, Brazing and Soldering.
