I've worked 10 years in management for small mom and pop shops. helping build the brand and be involved in the community. I specialize in new contractor development and win them over even with higher priced inventory, because I sell knowledge of installation and help along the way.
I also understand small business has to run a lean and mean mentality. During covid at DMD I looked at how we were building crates, how we were using our footprint on FTL trucks, and how we sourcing our steel at the time. I made some adjustments that saved us a fair amount in monthly expenditures.
I am experienced in precession fabrication. I understand tensile and shear loads and have installed probably a million screws and anchors. Im familiar the sizing, drives and thread type of
In manufacturing I will have a eye for detail. At the same time once I get my process down my mission is to produce. We would be a team and I would give you all I got, and bring out the best in your staff.
I installed a variety of complex panel, roof, waterproofing systems. Responsible for flashing waterproofing, sub framing, insulating, paneling and trimming out. Everything had to be inspected and signed off on. I custom cut all penetrations and designed all flashings and trims myself off field measurements. Majority of this work was edge or swing stage up to 500'.
Krueger worked exclusively on $1 billon high rises and event centers. These kind of the projects had mural panel systems and color shift paints or expensive or patinaed alloys that routinely exceeded $100/sqft, panel systems such as this generally can not order additional material without 3 month lead times. I excelled at proper layout, accurate measurements resulting in minimizing costly mistakes.
DMD is a custom manufacturing steel plant where we built architectural and industrial facades and panel systems.
As Operations Manager I was second only to ownership. I was handled all aspects of day to day responsibilities including payroll, sales, estimates, raw material sourcing, production, warehousing, shipping and customer service.
I continuously cross trained my staff to be as versatile. I'd show them how to drive the 5 ton trucks, weld, fabricate steel as well as teach them metallurgy as most of our finishes where reactions amongst dissimilar metals.
I lead by example, I take great pride in my work and have a expectation of myself to be a constant professional and great leader.
