  Ferguson and Neudorf Windows

  Nov 2011 - Jun 2012

  Production Line Worker

  Ferguson and Neudorf build industrial window frame's, and install commercial glass once completed. They are known for their international projects with several different locations in the Niagara Region. Ferguson and Neudorf also have many on-site workers who are well equipped to solve any problem a job site may encounter. Here, I was to assemble the window frame structure to be sent down for glass installation. The frame consisted of 4-8 steel beams, insulation, and shadowbox. I was clean and prime all joints, electric drill hundreds of bolts, cock the entire thing including edges and screws, cut and input insulation, and lift heavy workloads daily. Here, I excelled - hiring two friends; prepping and training them myself. Show less

  Paladin Security

  Oct 2012 - Jun 2013

  Patient Watch

  Although patient watch security is not a licensed security guard position, the job was relatively similar. I would spend 12 hours a shift watching a patient, ensuring their safety. This would include patients with mental health issues in the mental health unit, older people with Dementia/Alzheimer's, and kids who were on suicidal watch. Here I was able to improve my communication and problem solving skills, as I was unable to touch a patient and had to verbally diffuse the situation. I was also the first responder who was to relay any serious issues to the security office, alerting them of the issue. Show less
