Summary

Results-driven Maintenance Technician with extensive experience at Sauer Brands Inc. Skilled in machinery alignment and preventive maintenance, I enhanced equipment efficiency and minimized downtime through effective troubleshooting and teamwork. Committed to safety compliance, I fostered a culture of continuous improvement, ensuring optimal performance and reliability of industrial machinery.

The last 12 months at Sauer Brands Inc I had removed myself from the maintenance department and was in the "Blending" department as a production worker. I felt as if I was in the wrong job. I wasn't in maintenance anymore and that destroyed my job there.

I went to a company that I interacted with the entire time at SBI and it's closer to maintenance but I need to get back in my field of expertise, MAINTENANCE.
