i schedule and plan work for the maintenance dept., buy needed parts and requisition contractors work. I keep compute compliance reports for the crews and supervisors. I keep safety work order reports updated and coordinate work to get these completed. I write new work orders from notifications and distribute the work to proper crews. I close completed work orders and keep PM sheets filed for the crews.
I have taken job related training on Microsoft Excel and am efficient with power point presentations and word. was Supervisor for 14 years and learned how to deal with people. Taking a course now (over half way complete) with Western Kentucky University. I have difficulty when the crews doesn't get high compliance scores but enjoy the challenge of working with them.
The people that I work with are very helpful and we work well as a team with the same objective in mind. We all have good work ethics.

I was let go prior to my 90 working day probation period (becoming part of the union) I had 15 days left. I was never late and clocked in on average 10-15 minutes early at my work station. When I was let go I was only told that I was on my probationary period and could be let go for any reason. Mind you I worked most of my off days and all days I was forced. Never called in and learned my whole department within 2 weeks, didn't matter. I WOULD NOT recommend anyone to work for Century unless you just didn't have a job. If you do go to work for them work as much as you can and keep your head down, dont draw any attention. Hopefully you will make it through probation, but I wouldn't count on it. They seem to like to have a rotating door of new non-union employees.

A typical day of consisted of operating both overhead cranes to set carbon and tap metal. I learned a lot about production and time management. The Century management was terrible. They would talk to and treat everyone like a dog. It was awful the last year and a half. I loved my co-workers. We remain in contact even though some of us are laid off and others are still working trying to save the plant. The hardest part of my job was probably jacking beams. It was the hottest and most physically intense part of my work day. The most enjoyable part of my day was when I got to work together with the fellow co-workers in my room. We all got along so well that it made work go by so much faster and a lot more enjoyable. Its always nice to have someone you can get along with and talk to while you work together.

My typical day was "fighting fires" and trying to keep older equipment running to meet demand. I knew nothing about aluminum manufacturing when I started, but learned quickly.
My management was set in their ways and not willing to change the systems that had been in place for many years. The upper management was interested in change, but most of the other managers had been in place for numerous years and were resistant to change.
I worked well with my co-workers to make as many improvements as possible to the system.
Dealing with the Union and management employees that were resistant to changes.
I enjoyed the learning experience of doing something different.

Century Aluminum has been a good place to work for past 17 years. You have good and bad days in the potrooms  just depending on how the cells run. I have learned alot about the aluminum making process over the years. Our management is very poor at Century Aluminum at decision making overall. I have great co-workers that I work with and get along great with. The hardest part of my job is the heat in summer months. The most enjoyable part of the job is working with good co-workers and learning new things from each other.
