United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Grainger Distribution, I coordinate maintenance operations across a 1M+ sq. ft. facility, covering forklift fleets, conveyor systems, and building and landscaping repairs. I also coordinate outside vendors and contractors for repairs and large-scale projects.
I administer and troubleshoot SAP, Dematic conveyor systems, EMS, MMS, and RF systems. I led a redesign of training, safety, and Standard Work Instruction documentation to improve consistency and compliance.

At Sports Authority Distribution and D&H Distribution, I worked on receiving, freight scheduling, and inventory accuracy, resolving discrepancies with vendors and buyers. My experience includes WMS, AS400, Excel-based inventory tracking, and Crown and Raymond forklift fleets.
