      TeamLeader/Accredited instructor/Operator/ Emergency Response Team Member

      I was an instructor for thirteen years before becoming a team leader in the Carbon plant at Rio Tinto Alcan. I am very well organised, articulate and first rate when it comes to working under pressure, proven outstanding problem solving including fault remedy, with a very good understanding of the work area with sound knowledge of all processes and excellent communication skills dealing with persons at all levels working with shifts, maintenance teams and all departments. I was involved in the installation and commissioning of all new equipment in the Rodding and BRF departments over the last fourteen years. I was responsible for producing task analysis, work procedures, risk assessments and more recently standardised work documents. I worked closely with LEAN advisors to implement LEAN disciplines into the work place and helped create a functional information centre for the Rodding department. I responded to new challenges and contributed to the effective execution of policies, systems and procedures, supporting, developing team members as well as meeting specific needs of productivity, quality and other operational needs, including Business Improvement, Lean and IPT.

      As supervisor I am responsible for managing the staff and plant operations at Ellington in vessel composting system where we currently process sub 50mm material from Newcastle City Councils waste collection. After being screened to sub 50mm at Byker's MBT waste recovery plant the material is transported by wagon to Ellington for it to be turned into compost and therefore diverting thousands of tons of waste otherwise destined for landfill. Ellington has recently had a six million pound refurbishment and upgrade to make it one of the most process efficient and environmentally friendly IVC's in the country. A team of one technician six operators and myself strive to create a positive work environment which delivers outstanding customer service through the efficient and effective composting and recovery of waste material at the site.
