What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on operations or manufacturing role where I can lead teams, improve processes with lean methods, ensure safety and quality, and grow into greater supervisory responsibility.

I am a hands-on manufacturing and warehouse professional with leadership experience overseeing engine assembly pods, inventory control, and new-hire training programs. I led assembly of Ford Triton V8 and V10 engines, conducted hoist inspections, and served as backup team lead while driving safety and quality.

My background includes inventory management at a high-volume restaurant, landscaping and general labor roles, and multi-year warehouse operations experience handling picking, packing, staging, and shipping. I hold certifications for industrial trucks and pallet jacks in the past and am comfortable re-certifying as needed.

I bring strong skills in lean manufacturing, root cause analysis, quality control, tooling, and equipment operation, combined with effective communication, schedule management, and a commitment to continuous improvement and workplace safety.
