Summary
Knowledgeable [Desired Position] with solid foundation in automation systems and maintenance. Successfully implemented process improvements increasing efficiency and reliability. Demonstrated troubleshooting and problem-solving skills using PLC programming and control systems.
I have experience with a variety of IT issues ranging from network mapping to printer issues.
I have consistently looked for ways to help out my fellow team members.
For Example: I devolved detailed I/O maps for every automated system in the plant because of the lack of prints. I have digital and physical copies if wanted.
I have consistently looked for ways improve our efficiencies
For Example: I am currently devolving a downtime program that will automate our downtime information and eliminate as much human input as possible. I have the copy of the current program if wanted.
I will look for upgrades and improvements I can make to systems without being asked
For Example: I upgraded our main server that we used for backup storage,communication,automation, and FactoryTalk Historian/VantagePoint. The server was running on dated 2012 operating system and was moved to a virtual machine using a 2022 operating system. I rebuilt the new server from scratch updating all the software to be compatible with the new operating system.
I have detailed documentation of this project if wanted.
As a 22 year old I was dropped into this position here at Prairie Farms with limited experience. I am the only Automation Technician at my job. As a result, I have experience in pasteurization, separation, mixing, storage, and packaging systems. I was forced to learn under the gun and a large portion of my knowledge is self taught. I am always open to constructive criticism and strive to look for new ways to learn. I have proven to be reliable and dependable. As the only Automation Technician I am on call 24/7 and have supported from home and came in on my time off to resolve various issues.
A good Automation Technician will do everything he is told.
A great Automation Technician will look to expand his knowledge and help his company without being asked.
