Work History

Chemical Operator and Forklift Driver

Cadon Plating
01.2021 - 11.2023
  • As a Chemical Operator, I was in charge of running a 20 stage “nickel plate” line.
  • At the start of the shift, I would check the nickel and acid levels at various “stages” on the line. Ensuring every chemical stage was within recommended pH levels.
  • After double checking that the required parts where in the correct barrel. I would then operate a forklift, lifting the barrel to a hoist. Once connected, the hoist would automatically empty a predetermined amount of parts at the start of the process.
  • I would utilize the master control CPU, to select which recipe to run. Different parts require different "recipes". Double checking with the physical work order, I would run the required program. Starting the plating processing.
  • At various stages, I would confirm the recipe was within standard chemical composition. Inputting data into the CPU and physically checking chemical levels.
  • Confirmed various other measurements and data with the computer and hard copy
  • Quality control and testing at the end of each batch. Quality standards met, would operate a forklift to transport barrels to the next stage.
  • If quality standards were not met, would assist the lead Lab Technician over the phone or in person to troubleshoot what went wrong and where.

  • As a Paint Tech, I ran around a 200ft computerized powder coating system/line (GEMA). With eight automatic guns, four on each side.
