Jacob Joseph Email and Phone Number

I spent my early adult life as a industrial production and maintenance supervisor where I learned to interact with a diverse team of people, keep deadlines, fill production orders, maintain equipment, work and develop a lean/5S environment, resolve conflicts, and apply discipline while maintaining a safe, respectful, productive, diverse and professional environment. I transitioned to a Railroad supervisor where I furthered my knowledge of varied mechanical and electronic systems, while promoting team work, foreseeing and fixing problems before they occur, maintaining proper inventory, interdepartmental synergy, safety and positive morale in an inherently dangerous environment often times working days without rest to ensure proper and safe movement of freight across the busiest sections of the Eastern United States. While with Norfolk Southern I supervised the Communications and Signals construction of the Indiana Gateway, a 100+ Million dollar public/private partnership that completely rebuilt 70 miles of Railroad and Signals between South Bend, Indiana and Chicago, Illinois, also while with Norfolk Southern I spent over 7 years overseeing all aspects of Communications and Signals repair and maintenance between South Bend, Indiana and Chicago, Illinois, as well as Ft. Wayne, Indiana and Chicago, Illinois with over 100 freight trains and 14 passenger trains a day traversing 3 and 4 mains, two moveable bridges, 180 powered switch machines and 100+ multi track crossing installations.
