Developed and maintained analytical quality laboratory by creating test methods, establishing documentation, and instrument procurement to ISO standards in a start-up engine manufacturing environment. Managed quality control of 35 chemical systems between 2 engine plants through employment of FT-IR, XRF, Karl Fischer titrations, Kinematic viscosity, flashpoint, bacteria and fungus control, and wet bench testing. Supported engine failure analysis corporate wide.• Established team approach to maintaining chemical systems involving system engineers, maintenance crews, and lab tech resulting in timely adjustments without stopping production.• Developed local and corporate specific FT-IR search libraries with vendor products for aiding and solving engine failures, plastic part failures, and customer return issues.• Increased cost savings by eliminating outside lab testing and reducing customer returns by researching and purchasing laboratory equipment capable of combining testing that reduced test turn around time.• Created warehouse quality checks system for required long term storage of 500 engines resulting in cycling of engines in storage before problems arose.• Established and maintained ISO and TS 16949 certification by keeping all work instructions, instrument calibrations, chemicals, and testing schedules current resulting in recognition by multiple outside auditors at final audit reviews.

Controlled entire plant production of paper filler making computerized changes when necessary to keep product within customer specifications within a 5 member team. Maintained 500K gallon inventory through quality testing of product, ordering and testing incoming raw materials, and timely maintenance of all pipelines transferring product to customer.• Maintained and documented ISO quality system and documentation of all product testing, calibrations, and records making laboratory compliant to corporate quality assurance standards.• Produced 150K gallons of product from raw materials each shift in compliance with customer specs ensuring availability of quality product at all times. • Controlled quality and maintained availability of raw materials received to prevent out-of-spec material from being produced that resulted in cost savings.• Performed quality assurance audits at sister plants to support corporate quality goals.

Controlled and managed all production line acid baths, wastewater, and boilers to produce quality pickled rolled steel.• Developed on-line acid control lab for 5 member team including acquisition of all materials, lab set-up, research and procedure development, and training. • Managed wastewater treatment through filter press including addition of caustic and polymer to prevent overflow of waste acid. • Maintained safe work environment with no lost time accidents of laboratory personnel.

Chemistry, Biology, Physical Science, Earth ScienceTeaching in all laboratory sciences grades 8-12.• Designed, implemented, and led laboratory instruction, including lab safety to teach students scientific techniques and reasoning.• Designed, implemented, and led classroom management for up to 130 students in above mentioned science classes with a 98% success level.
