My duties went beyond sheet metal work, and consisted of voluntary work within our environmental program. This included ensuring hazardous wastes were properly stowed and kept segregated, storm water pollution prevention, keeping running physical and digital logs on containers, training and preparedness for spill responses, and giving quarterly training to coworkers on hazardous materials/waste disposal procedures. I performed data collection for repairs beyond the scope of blueprint tolerances and submitted write ups to engineering for further analysis and repair resolutions. I was frequently in contact and consulted by our engineering team to formulate repairs that are functional, within budget, and practical. Show less
