Plant operations manager at Earle M. Jorgensen Co. who managed 30 direct reports and optimized daily plant operations.

At Earle M. Jorgensen Co., I managed a team of 30 across the shipping office, warehouse, and truck driving operations. I planned and optimized daily plant operations to meet production goals, quality standards, and on-time deliveries.

I maintained DOT and OSHA compliance, supported ISO and AS requirements, and managed operating budgets and capital expenditure projects. I also recruited, managed, and developed plant and driver staff.

At Saw Service & Supply, I grow revenue across a defined territory by building customer relationships and recommending products based on on-site assessments. Earlier, I installed equipment and managed repairs at Cintas, and worked in golf course landscape maintenance and tree removal.
