I don't absolutely have to be here until 7 a.m., but I arrive by 6:30 to make sure all the equipment is ready to run at 7 a.m. when the assembly shift starts. I’m held accountable for any downtime on the assembly lines, so it’s to my benefit to make sure everything is working. Usually things are ready to go though.

Throughout the day, I’ll catch calls if a machine tears up or is not working properly. When not troubleshooting, I work on preventive maintenance, or work on projects that will make the assembly process even better. I don’t have a typical day. My job is kind of like a deck of cards, and I’m given a different hand everyday. I know what the cards are, but I’m never given the same hand twice. I would get bored if it were any other way.
