In my current position I manage the daily operations of a concrete production facility. I design concrete mixes to meet and exceed project specifications. I am responsible for concrete quality control and troubleshooting concrete problems when they arise. My responsibilities also include keeping an adequate supply of raw materials for production and hiring quality manpower to fulfill our customers needs. I oversee plant maintenance personnel to assure that the plant runs smoothly and work with them to develop maintenance schedules for equipment. I work with all of our staff to attain a friendly safe working environment. I work with our safety coordinator directly to make sure that all of Harrod Concrete’s safety guidelines are being followed and enforced.

My job responsibilities at W.T. Congleton included submitting price quotes to various contractors, reading the design specifications for projects and then submitting the corresponding concrete mix designs and accompanying paperwork to the architects and engineers involved in the project for approval. I tested the quality of our concrete daily to ensure that the mix designs were performing to specifications. I also coordinated on site concrete pours with our contractors to ensure that we had enough trucks to supply the job with a constant, consistent product. I utilized the Internet and relationships with our contractors to gain knowledge of future projects coming into our area, so that we could be the first to bid on them. We would tell contractors, that preferred our concrete, about upcoming projects to try to help them win the bids and use our concrete. All in all I enjoyed learning this sales process at W.T. Congleton. Robert Congleton is a great business man and friend. I could not have worked for a better ready mix producer. Quality of product and quality of service mean everything in the ready mix industry as they are often the only things that can differentiate ready mix producers, W.T. Congleton has both.

I was responsible for a $1,250,000.00 dollar sales territory. My sales territory extended from Elizabethtown to Lexington, Georgetown, Winchester, Morehead, Richmond, Berea, London, Somerset, Russell Springs, basically I-64 to Morehead and I-75 to almost the Tennessee line. My job responsibilities were as follows: maintaining product inventories, maintaining current market share of ready mix, precast, and block producers while continually trying to grow the customer base. I ran cost/benefit analysis to prove the inherent value of our products versus the competition. I utilized Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint to further illustrate my points to my customers. Furthermore I trained my customers and their employees how to properly dose the chemical admixtures that we sold them. I taught their customers, the contractors how to get quality concrete using our products. I helped my customers solve concrete mix design problems and often calculated new mixes for them. I was required to be on-site at concrete construction jobs by my customers to observe and assure proper concrete testing and placing procedures to protect my company and my customers from wrongful litigation. I also had to work extensively with the KDOT on getting admixtures approved for utilization in state concrete. This job required me to have a growing knowledge of concrete and keep up with current concrete technology trends. I was the first sales representative in Kentucky to get the KDOT to approve the use of Self Consolidating Concrete in precast products. I was the first person in Kentucky to master the art of the SCC mix design.

I was responsible for a limited customer base as I was being trained to cover a larger sales territory. During this year I learned more about the products I would be required to sell. I also tried to sharpen my selling technique on future business prospects. After one year I was promoted to Technical Sales.

I was responsible for maintaining and installing chemical admixture dispensing systems in the state of Kentucky for Master Builders Inc. I scheduled and took care of service calls. I had to learn the operating systems of multiple computerized concrete batching systems from ACT to Alkon. This job was very technical it involved a working knowledge of electronics, electrical wiring, plumbing, pneumatics, welding. I was responsible for ordering and installing thousands of dollars worth of equipment annually. I was also responsible for scheduling equipment installs with our customers and other dispenser technicians to facilitate a smooth transition into using our chemicals. I trained plant personnel on proper use of our equipment and precautions they might need to follow with the different admixtures we were selling to them.

Operated a large piece of experimental machinery. We were producing belts for the paper industry. Running this machine involved the mixing of isocyanate and polyol, two chemicals that when combined at certain ratios, produce different forms of polyurethane. This machine extruded the mixture on to basecloths especially designed for us to produce very large belts.
