Employee Spotlight: Trevor Smith In celebration of Manufacturing Month, we’re excited to feature Trevor Smith, a Maintenance Technician at Berry Global with 8.5 years of experience in the industry! Check out his insights below: Position: Maintenance Technician Company: Berry Global, Inc. Years in Manufacturing: 8.5 years Q: What kind of jobs have you worked in Manufacturing? Trevor: Electronics Technician with Howard Industries Process Technician and Maintenance Technician with Berry Global Q: What made you want to get into Manufacturing? Trevor: I found the process of taking individual raw materials and combining them in such a way that they become a product consumers can use in their everyday lives. Q: What is something you think most people don’t know or understand about the Manufacturing Industry? Trevor: There is more precision required in the setup of the equipment to allow high speed, mass production to be possible than most people think. If your setup is more than .001 of an inch off, in some situations, the equipment will not run at all. Q: What is your favorite aspect of your job? Trevor: I would say the satisfaction of tearing down a broken piece of equipment to an empty shell, rebuilding it, and having it work exactly how it’s supposed to. Q: What advice would you give someone who is interested in working in the Manufacturing industry? Trevor: Don’t beat yourself up if, after 3-6 months, you still don’t understand what’s going on or are still struggling with the job. This is an extremely fast-paced industry and the amount of moving parts involved can be overwhelming at times. Pay attention and learn as much as you can about how certain manufacturing equipment is supposed to run, and it will make it easier for you to spot when a malfunction begins so you can correct it before it becomes catastrophic. #ManufacturingMonth #EmployeeSpotlight #PRCC #Manufacturing
