As the production manager, I am responsible for overseeing the fabrication, weld, paint, and four assembly departments(along with sub-assembly). Those supervisors report to me daily and as a team we figure out what needs to get done for the day and how we are going to get it done. I work on making each department as safe as possible and as efficient as possible.

Those supervisors report to me daily and as a team we figure out what needs to get done for the day and how we are going to get it done. I work on making each department as safe as possible and as efficient as possible. It is my responsibility to ensure the four assembly lines have the parts they need for the next day.

As the Paint Supervisor I was in charge of leading and motivating a 16 person team. It was my responsibility to keep the department as safe as possible at all times and to hit daily quotas to keep four different assembly lines running. I set goals for the team and tried to make them as efficient as possible. I was also in charge of ordering and keeping track of inventory for the entire department.

I was in charge of the Heater Assembly Line, one of four assembly lines at Allmand Bros. I was responsible for keeping a safe and orderly work environment. It was also my job to ensure the assembly line was hitting their daily quotas in order to hit due dates and not fall behind.

I was a machine operator in the Fabrication Department. I learned how to run every machine in the department, which included a Trumpf laser, Trumpf brake, turret, saw, plasma cutter, and drills. The majority of my time was spent on the brakes, bending parts for the next day's production.
