                 Manufacturing/Production/Industrial/Machining

Profile
 
	My work experience and training would be more developed in the machining industry along with other manufacturing settings. I've completed 5-6 years in CNC machining with a total of 15+ years in a manufacturing environment. Achieved production demands with consistency along with detailed quality control that resulted in delivery of product demands being met. Very comfortable with precision tooling, measuring equi-
pment, machinery, software, and QA/QC procedures and practices. Along with machining, experienced with plastic injection molding, CNC wood working,  general shop type machinery, manual and  power tools. Also familiar and proficient with computers in general and various Windows Operating Systems. My goals are to continue growing in my work experience and developing my trade skills. I do very much consider myself to be a team  player and reliable person and good candidate for any job description that matches my skill sets along with not being objective to endeavors that might be different job descriptions or settings than the ones I have worked in.

Accomplishments
 
·   Maintained product quality and continuous product flow by attention to detail and        comprehension of procedures and engineering requirements.
·   Saved previous full time employer down time with trouble shooting capacity enabling continuous flow of production.
·   Started in machining entering entry level position and progressed to light programming and became very comfortable with set ups.

Work Experience 

2010 - Current
Express Employment Proffesionals/Action Staffing

I've been occupied with these two staffing services over the course of the last 2  years. I filled quite a few assignments which have stretched over the course of 2 to 4 months per assignment. They were all short term assignments and kept me working. 4 to 5 months over the duration of the past few years I  have worked directly with  CNC mills including a CNC router that functioned by gantry and a vacuum table. The remainder of the contracts have been for very generalized light industrial types of work.

Shamrock Yellow Cab, Longmont, CO
Taxi Driver, 2007 - 2008

My duties for this company were maintaining safe vehicles for customers, logging of all pick ups and drop off times and mileage tracking. Also safely transporting customer and maintaining customer satisfaction with prompt and professional service. Due to the very personal customer service nature of this job, adaptation to circumstances and attention to personal needs allowed me to develop skill sets that contributed to my personal growth.
	
·   This company was understaffed daily due to continuous needs for vehicle maintenance and volume of business exceeding company's capacity. Personal customer satisfaction and return of business were my responsibility since I was the company's representative on site. This enhanced my personal service and satisfaction skills allowing me to resolve problems that normally management would have to intervene in the conventional working environment.

·   Rapid learning enabled me to take on higher demanding tasks than my position required. As an entry level machinist, there were limitations to responsibilities given but rapid growth allowed personal gain in knowledge of the trade and developed relations and mentoring with experienced qualified machinist.
