Accomplishments
I have been a dependable and successful employee since January 29, 1996. I have moved from assembler to team leader during those years. I have worked in every area of the hydraulic excavator line including boom & arm. In 2022 I moved from excavator production to dump truck production. I have traveled to Japan to learn and expand my knowledge of dump truck assembly. I have maintained an exemplary employee record. I have never received disciplinary action or incurred points on my record for any reason. I have never had a safety violation and work to ensure co-workers abide by safety protocols. I have shown my commitment to this company for more than 25 years, faithfully showing up each day to work and competently completing the jobs I have been assigned.
