Work History

Machinist

Whallon Machinery Inc
205 N Chicago St, Royal Center, IN 46978
04.2025 - Current

To follow blue prints for the project that involves using a horizontal bandsaw, lathe, mill, drill press, shear, hydraulic press and plasma. With these machines I am able to craft parts for the project. I have to use measuring tape, combination square and protractor for accurate measurements and markings. Occasionally will help in painting, assembling and welding parts if needed. When we receive material I unload and store the material in a orderly manner while keeping inventory of the material. When a new employee arrives, I am training them on how to operate the machines and the process of reading the blue print to turn the raw material into a usable part for the project.

When slowed i would assist in taking orders, delivering orders to tables or helping wash the dirty dishes or put up clean dishes. If ever a area is busy, I would step in and assist them if my area was slow so they would not fall behind.

When a new hire started, I would train them to company standards in oven tending, make line or delivery.
