Summary

I have been an operator for 16 years. I am very knowledgeable about the process, safety and quality protocols of the operations of all lines due to my previous experience as a lead and as a veteran employee of the company. I have an excellent attendance record that speaks to my dedication to my job and the support of my work family. I care about the people I work with. We are all here to provide for ourselves and our familIt’s. Every day I do my best to help make the work day a success by helping out others in any way that I can. 12 hours is a long day, but it makes it easier to be at work if everyone can have an easy day. And makes for a more cohesive and productive work environment.

Operations Lead

I was the night shift operation line lead over line 1 (now line 3).

  • I planned cleans
  • Orchestrated changeovers
  • Supported my operators in any way needed

troubleshooting machines and teaching new operators adjustments to better run equipment. As night shift doesn't have many seasoned operators.

  • I was responsible for the safety, quality, and efficiency of my people and my line.
  • I would also help out on any other lines as needed and support the other leads as well in any way I could.
  • As a night shift lead, at the time, we did not have a quality or safety team member available to us, so we had to make decisions to the best of our training, knowledge and ability.
