Summary

Multi-talented professional knowledgeable about equipment operation, quality standards and safety hazards. Steps easily into any production position and works hands-on with team members in need of improvement. Versed in documentation, compliance and scheduling.

The lifetime of employment has provided established knowledge of maintaining inventory of items and stocking supplies, training personnel, and creating and adhering to policies and procedures in all aspects of legislation, standards, and guidelines.

The skills and abilities required for the applied-for jobs describe my attributes. I am a long-standing citizen of Sudbury and am familiar with the hospital. My strength comes from years of loading and unloading trucks full of both materials and fully assembled kitchens. Maintain the organization of a shop, and utilize carts to organize materials in various stages of production.

I have a strong background in tool handling, ordering, and maintenance. I realize the hospital strives for patient-centered care and drives me to apply my knowledge and strengths toward helping and contributing to the behind-the-scenes personnel operate seamlessly.
