performed work on the boilers .I installed water purifiers, feed water pumps, ID fans, rolling grates in the burn boxes

using laser equipment and old school piano wire, calipers, dial indicators, micrometers, along all the bearings, belts

chains and the pneumatics that it took to turn all of these .I was responsible for greasing this equipment

everyday .I helped install streamlines, heat exchangers, cooling towers, fuel bins, conveyer system I maintenance

all of these regularly .I assisted in the whole project of building a dry kiln from the ground up. The forming of the

accurate log of all maintenance performed on the equipment. Being certain that all the maintenance is done on each

and every machine and moving parts, chains, bearings, hoses, valves, cylinders, belts all are kept in service

I worked daily without supervision. The responsibilities that I had are as follows To make sure that the mill kept

running at all times. Answer any and all maintenance calls without delay, to fix the problem correctly in a timely

fashion whether it be mechanical, electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic. So to be honest trouble shooting is something

that I am accustom to .I was evaluated on my performance and work regularly .I was evaluated on how well the

new hire millwrights performed after their training. The results were satisfactory .I never received any bad

marks or write ups during my employment with this company. The reason I left this company was due to a company

wide layoff and closure of the mill.
