Summary

I am a timed served quality & instrumentation technician with an electrical background, experienced in maintaining, calibrating, and troubleshooting range of instrumentation. A big part of this role is being able to follow and create written procedure's and help relay this to other team members if needed. I always have a good understanding of process safety and how to conduct safe operating conditions. As I have worked on a large steel coating plant for over 10 years, I feel very comfortable in a process environment and well adapt at overcoming challenges that this brings.
