My Experience
Manufacturing Team Leader
RPM Wood Finishes Group
Hudson, NC
10/12/17 - Present
At RPM Wood Finishes Group, I started as a filling line attendant on a single high speed line where the team I was on were responsible for the loading, filling, lidding, labeling, boxing and stacking of millions of cans of products, most notably wood stain. Within 2 years, I learned all of the machines and how to fix them. Plus, I learned how to operate and repair a second more advanced high speed line we acquired as well as learning how to run the old “non-high speed” line. I was quickly promoted to leader of all three lines within two years, giving me my first taste of management. Working directly with my supervisor, I was in charge of a lot of maintenance, scheduling, and making sure everyone performed their jobs to the best of their ability. This is where I learned patience under stress and how to work with many people at once.
