  Dyno Nobel

  Dec 2015 - Jul 2020

  During my Senior Management and Site Leadership role at Dyno Nobel, my role oversaw several departments (Shipping Department, Analytical Laboratory, Customer Service, Site Security, and Administration). First and foremost I emphasized the safety of the workers by leading a project to complete all SOP's and a training program that was Process Safety Management (PSM) compliant. Second, I was dedicated to continuous development of each individual. Employees knew what was expected of them and what the next steps in career awaited them. I also championed support to channel employees in their career interests. I taught lean manufacturing principles which directly increased work safety, efficiency, and significantly reduced overtime while increasing employee morale. My skillsets are well-rounded to include incident investigations, Chemical Terrorism Vulnerability Information, Homeland Security, budget planning, supporting auditors and regulators, working as a team with other senior managers and Supply Chain to ensure the plant is efficient and in continuous operation.
