He holds many other certifications, including Fork Lift, OSHA 30, CPR/AED and Serious Injury Response.
This candidate started out working in network configuration (not on resume) but also took a part time job working at Fed Ex as a Loader.
While working at Fed Ex he became interested in optimizing space utilization, shipment accuracy and reducing product damage.
This candidate took that interest and experience and got a job at Sunstate Security, a third party brought in to work at a Sunoco refinery, as a Safety Site Supervisor.
(He continued to work part time at Fed Ex the first few months he was at Sunstate)
Due to the hazardous nature of the materials at the refinery, he gained experience in site safety, ensuring and enforcing compliance with procedures and protocols,
risk assessment and incident prevention management.
After 2 years the plant shut down and this candidate got a job managing a cold storage distribution facility, RLS Logistics.
Here he used all his experience gained as a safety supervisor and led and trained teams through coaching, training and process improvements.
As time went on his hours increased to the point where it seriously impacted his home-work life balance, and he left as there was no indication that this would change.
He took a "placeholder" job as an LTL packer while he figured out his next move and what he really wanted to do with his career.
Michael gained an appreciation for proper labeling to prevent risk and product damage while he was doing this job.
In 2016 this candidate got a job as a shipping outbound specialist at a Walmart distribution Center, where he also served as a safety back-up.
This was the start of 9 years at Walmart/JET.
(During his time at Walmart, he also worked part time for a few years at the company where he had been an LTL packer years before, when they needed site security monitors.)
After a short time he was promoted to CSAP (Compliance/Safety/Asset protection) Lead at another Walmart center.
When that facility closed he was sent to another one , promoted to EHS Manager.
After that facility closed, Michael took a severance package and left.
The package allowed him time to take care of some things in his personal life and contemplate his next move.
This candidate knew he eventually would want stability and to bring all the skill-sets he had gained to a company in the area of Safety and Compliance.
This past spring he began to look for his next full time job .
In the interim he has been taking temp and contract jobs, including one for Amazon.
