• Conduct audits on major plant equipment including raw mill, coal mill, finish mill, and pyroprocess. • Optimize and integrate key process parameters to maintain a highly productive process flow. • Evaluate automated process control systems and tune automation control loops (PID type) • Develop and maintain statistical process control charts and records for various operating parameters within the major operating systems resulting in optimal system performance and faster troubleshooting.• Develop and produce computerized reports for accurate monthly operational accounting and auditing purposes.

• Conducted special quality projects, audits, reports.• Created and implement SOPs for new methods and equipment.• Performed chemical and physical analysis for product and raw material samples.• Quality oversight of all product.• Supervised 2 lab analysts under the direction of the plant Quality Manager

• Trained under the Chief Chemist at the Louisville, NE plant and the Leamington, UT plant in controlling cement chemistry and running a successful laboratory department.• Spent 4 months training at the Technical Center in Overland Park, KS to receive guidance from Laboratory/Quality Managers and Technical service staff. Training was centered around quality control chemistry and manufacturing process effects on product quality.

• Maintained housekeeping for the plant by operating Bobcat skid steers, forklifts, Guzzler vacuum trucks, loaders, Skytrack forklifts, and various sweepers.• As a lab relief, I analyzed the chemical and physical properties of cement on a daily basis. • Tested cement for compressive cube strengths, set times, air contents, autoclave bar expansions, insoluble residues, loss on ignitions, Blaines, and 30 and 45 micron sieves. • Tested the chemical matrices and concentrations in cement using an XRF machine.
