Work History

Receiving Operator

Saputo Cheese USA Inc.
06.2023 - 07.2024

I had to acquire my weighers and sampling license to make sure that I checked the milk when arriving from the dairies for antibiotics. Sending milk to silos and to the evaporator. Always ensured the flow was in accordance to prevent product loss and checked all machines and ensured all equipment and areas are clean for audits and everyday work

Dryer Operator

06.2016 - 03.2022

I started off 2 and a half years in receiving and the next 3 years running the Dryer. I would do hourly checks all the way up to the 5th level at very high temperatures. I would scrutinize all flow up to the chamber from air handlers to the lances upon top. I would be working hand in hand with the evaporator operator .

Maintenance

03.2013 - 03.2016

Before harvesting I would ensure all conveyer belts were in tact and gearboxes and or motors received proper attention such as Oiling them or replacing them. Troubleshooting when necessary and a very broad workload for replacing bushings, augers and so much more to even minor fabrication.
