As the Manufacturing Process Engineer, I take on all several responsibilities for maintaining the sustainability and creating improvements of the EMR Automotive Dismantling Plant. I also :• Manage the Maintenance Team, a crew of 6 skilled Plant Mechanics across 2 shifts to maintain plant upkeep.• Develop training and documentation protocols for transitioning employees between job roles• Develop the maintenance procedures and scheduling. Equipment maintained includes the following: • Forklifts • Parts washing machine, conveyor, and water purification system • Car crusher • Engine dismantling table and hoist stations • 4 vehicle dismantling conveyor lines • 1 "exit conveyor" which moves dismantled vehicles towards the car crusher • Vehicle lifting and drivetrain removal equipment • Depollution equipment such as oil pans, fuel siphoning drills, and catalytic converter cutting tools • Controls equipment such as photo-eye sensors and limit switches• Lead fabrication and plant improvement projects for the Maintenance Team. The goal of all projects was to create or redesign equipment that would help avoid damage, decrease failure rates, and improve plant efficiency. Successful projects include the following: • Reworking conveyor drives for the parts washing machine • Fabricating conveyor protection for the exit conveyor • Rewiring unprotected conduit at the drivetrain removal stations • Fabricating protective rails for the dismantling lines' unload stations • Redoing plumbing for the parts washing machine • Installing an air compressor and routing airlines to give pneumatic power to 3 additional engine dismantling stations • Using old racks, laid out new shelving systems for gaylords, rims, and drivetrain parts across 2 warehouses • Fabricated and installed parts shelves to give dismantlers on the lines more room to store removed parts • Designed and installed fluid drain pans

This included keeping inventory of PPE, managing maintenance, and completing payroll. • Developed training protocols to safely increase productivity. • Developed production methods such as work station duties, transporting cars out of the building, and moving material through the building, all of which became standards after time. • Worked with the Vehicle Inventory department for arranging which vehicles were to be dismantled, and ensuring we removed sold parts correctly. • Worked with the Quality Control department to figure out which parts were coming off broken and who performed the work. Used this information to retrain all involved personnel. • Used Hollander software to audit the parts being removed from vehicles and ensuring that proper scans of material were taking place. • Interviewed candidates for skilled and unskilled positions within the plant. Coordinated with Recruiting Teams for building up the plant's staff.
