@pauldudle
Experienced logistics and operations professional skilled in recycling, maintenance, and compliance-driven scheduling.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a dedicated logistics and operations professional who coordinates shipments of materials with brokers, processors, and vendors. I operate machinery such as balers, sorters, and compactors, handle loading and unloading with forklifts or pallet jacks, and use computerized systems to track inventory, calculate diversion rates, and prepare reports. I also inspect materials for contamination to ensure quality standards are met for resale.
Across my career, I’ve strengthened day-to-day operations through practical, safety-first work—performing routine maintenance on equipment, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems to prevent failures and reduce downtime. I’ve also led service delivery as a Catering Manager, meeting with clients to plan menus, tailoring services to dietary needs, and coordinating food preparation, setup, and staffing to ensure seamless events. In kitchen roles, I delivered consistent quality while maintaining a clean, sanitary environment in compliance with health and safety regulations.
I bring a strong administrative foundation from contract and financial roles, where I prepared, analyzed, and revised contracts, subcontracts, and change orders, maintained a centralized repository of documents, and ensured regulatory and policy compliance. My core goal is simple: to add value to the organization while bringing a creative, energetic, and respectful presence to the workplace.
