I worked on the team that developed and successfully launched the first water based, environmentally friendly, basecoat system that was put into several General Motors’ assembly plants. This involved testing, application, and scale up work. I assisted in all the various laboratory testing, PPAP’s, FMEA’s, and other quality work that was done prior to the launch of this new and innovative product.
Accomplishments
Performed water quality testing
I spent several years testing drinking water, landfill well samples and industrial waste areas for EPA water quality reporting and other data analysis. This involved a large variety of chemical test procedures, wet chemistry methods, and sampling procedures. This meant learning about EPA regulations, RCRA and hazardous waste management and control. I also trained lab personnel and assigned tasks for multiple shift operations in the lab.
