Worked as Maintenance Manager in Vertrauen Chemie Solutions, formerly Quadrant Chemical Corp., where I spearhead single and three phase equipment, motor controls, conduit, pulling wire, terminations, troubleshooting, lighting, repairing pumps, fabrication welding and repairs, and forklift operations. It is worth notable that I shifted from manual process to semi-automated programs through designing, installation, and fabrication of new and existing rebuild equipment that resulted in process development, improvement, and integration of improved production methods. I was promoted from Maintenance Tech to Maintenance Manager for dedicated work and continued commitment towards excellence. The following are highlights of the value I brought to Vertrauen Chemie Solutions: ☛ I simplified maintenance management and scheduling of ISO 9001 yearly audits by introducing and designing Computerized Maintenance Management System for PM and plant projects. ☛ I implemented new safety standard and equipment procedures that led to controlled downtime and loss of production and caused decline in incidental potentials by more than 30%. ☛ I designed, developed, and implemented effective process resulted in reduced production time from 10 hours to 4 hours, mitigated production costs, and enhanced product quality and integrity. ☛ I successfully saved thousands of dollars by discouraging outsourcing and enabling the company to engineer and produce in-house through equipment re-engineering to satisfy demand needs.
