Wastewater lead operator focused on safety, compliance, and process optimization.
What I'm looking for
I am a wastewater lead operator with seven years of hands-on experience in wastewater management, environmental compliance, and workplace safety. I consistently drive results by combining practical operations knowledge with data-driven analysis.
At Pilgrim's Pride I led wastewater operations, implemented process improvements that boosted treatment efficiency, and reduced downtime through proactive maintenance and performance monitoring. I prioritize regulatory compliance, including EPA standards, and maintain strict adherence to safety protocols.
My background includes training and leading teams to improve collaboration and operational efficiency, as well as experience in materials handling, forklift operations, and general warehouse functions. I hold OSHA certifications and continue to expand my technical knowledge through formal coursework.
I bring a practical, safety-first mindset and a track record of problem-solving in industrial environments, seeking to apply my skills to improve treatment outcomes, reduce risk, and enhance operational reliability.
