  High volume sawmill where I worked in all aspects of the mill from grading lumber, forklift operating to being a Qualtiy Control Supervisor. I worked my way up the ladder to put myself in a position of responsibility. The QCS job was to determine if the product going through the sawmill was worth the money versus shutting down the sawmill to make changes to make a better product.

  Water Treatment Operator

  Water Treatment Operator at 2 water treatment plant with the City of Calgary. Both plants used Actiflow pretreatment process followed by dual media filtration and sodium hydroxide generation for disinfection with maximum flows of around 600 ML/day at each plant. These plants had very little water waste, over 99% of the water from the surface sources were eventually treated because the backwash waste water was settled out and the supernatent was processed again through the plant. The settled sludge was centerfuged and recycled in farmers fields. Show less
