Nicholus Aytes

I spray gel coat for various boat parts. It is my job to maintain the equipment I use by cleaning it thoroughly between each use. I also work alongside different departments to be sure each part is being sprayed and flipped in a timely manner. I drive a forklift on a daily basis and have over 6 years of experience doing so.

I also fill in as supervisor/lead when my immediate supervisor is on vacation or out. In January he was gone for over a month and I was responsible for keeping my coworkers accountable in their individual tasks as well as maintaining supplies and ordering materials as needed.

I am also the most experienced in my department, so I train each new employee we get to be sure they are doing the job safely and correctly.
