James Jolly

Looking for an opportunity to grow with a company using my knowledge of quality/leadership in plastics, metal, paint, and assembly. I have experience working with various tools and gages that inspect and measure part dimensions and quality. I've also been in a leadership position where I was responsible for crews in assembly and quality.

Work well with others in troubleshooting any problematic issues that may arise to ensure production of the highest quality possible. I pride myself on having a high motor and always staying busy.

This plant works mostly with axles for large vehicles. It is split up into 3 business units and I was responsible for the quality of the parts in all of business unit #1 which is the starting point of the axle building process. In my area we handled the cut-offs, extrusions, and inertia friction welding of all the metal before going to the bracket weld and machining area.

Though this is where I spent the majority of my time with the company, I have also worked with the weld and machining lines as those are the production units I started in when I began with the company.
