(CANADIAN CITIZEN - WILLING TO WORK ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD)
SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS
Over ten years cement plant experience in the area of production, process optimization and quality control. I have recently worked with St. Marys Cement. I have extensive plant operation experience (SPC)in dry process FF kilns with alkali/sulfur by-pass. My strong leadership skills combined with technical expertise, planning, management, best utilization of the available resources and prompt decision making can produce solid results in short interval of time. With my in-depth experience in all areas (process, production and quality control backed with strong mechanical aptitude) I can lead the department to maximum profitability by quickly recognizing the process problems and minimizing the downtime.
Objective
Looking for a position in Quality Control, Process or Production where I can use my skills, experience and expertise and lead a team to success
