Technical drawings for manufacturing and print production was a key responsibility during my tenure at Almetek Industries, Inc.

Over the course of 6 years as the Art & Die Dept. Manager, I generated more than 6000 technical drawings. Collaborating closely with various departments, I strategically designed products with a focus on optimizing the manufacturing process. Given that a significant portion of our products catered to the utility industry, I acquired a comprehensive understanding of ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) regulations.

The nature of this role was distinctive, as it involved the convergence of graphic design and manufacturing, often requiring a nuanced blend of engineering skills. Attention to technical details emerged as a paramount factor in ensuring the success of each product.

In addition to my role in technical design, I assumed leadership responsibilities in managing the print production department, overseeing a team of four individuals. This aspect of my role honed my leadership skills as I navigated tight deadlines, resolved issues through troubleshooting, and upheld rigorous standards of quality control—a routine practice in such a dynamic and demanding environment.
