Theofohilus Burns Jr
@theofohilusburnsjr
Extrusion and machine operator specializing in high-risk troubleshooting, quality checks, and safe production.
What I'm looking for
I’m an extrusion and machine operator focused on turning PVC power/pellets into flexible PVC pipe while maintaining high-pressure equipment and running corrugators safely and accurately. At ABB Installation Products, I keep production quality tight by performing proper quality checks every 2 hours and handling troubleshooting when I spot issues like cold spots and breakage, so we can save material and protect tooling.
I also bring hands-on machine and production experience from Denso Manufacturing, where I operated laser welding-based processes for Ford and Toyota fuel rail and fuel pump components, using troubleshooting, documentation, and quality checks to keep output above expectations. Beyond manufacturing, I’ve worked in logistics and inventory—operating tugger and reach truck equipment with hand scanners, setting up 30 radio frequency machines for sealing medical and defense products, and managing fabrication part receiving—plus earlier Navy machinist mate experience working across HVAC, O2, refrigeration, and diesel engines with tap & die skills.
