Richard Baylor Jr.

While at Chemours, I was responsible for monitoring and operating equipment and facilities, ensuring quality and conformance with standard operating procedures. Performed minor maintenance functions within my operating area, and maintained safety standards at all times, initiating and following emergency procedures when necessary. Involved in the start-up, operation, maintenance, and shut-down of equipment, per operating procedures. You will prepare equipment for maintenance work and serve as a member of the Emergency Response Team, reinforcing all safety, health, and environmental rules, policies, and regulations. Trained new operators, and ensured that they followed operating procedures. Pulled samples, performed field analysis, and monitored process variables via DCS. Made adjustments to maintain operations within Standard Operating Conditions (SOCs). The troubleshooting process upsets, and responding appropriately to return processes to within SOCs will be essential. Additionally, you will use a variety of hand tools and meters during your work, record daily activity in shift logs, and patrol your assigned area to visually inspect and monitor equipment and process conditions. Routine maintenance work, and reviewing and updating procedures and drawings per required guidelines, will also be part of your duties. During my day-to-day duties, I maintained a commitment to safety and a proactive approach to maintaining operational excellence.
