Process Engineer
Thank you for taking the time to review my resume.
Please allow me to briefly introduce myself. I have over 10 years experience in the Manufacturing Industry, working
primarily as a Process and Manufacturing Engineer to Japanese and American companies operating in Mexico,
USA and more recently in Australia, where my main duties included the implementation of lean Manufacturing tools
for continuous improvement, cost reduction and elimination of defects.
Further to my professional experience, I established and operated my own business for several years in Texas,
where I gained a richer perspective on working and connecting with people on a personal and professional level.
This gave me valuable tools in experiencing both sides of the of the business spectrum and their variables.
I look forward to hearing from you soon so we can discuss this role further and explore whether I may be the ideal
candidate that you are is seeking.
Kind Regards,
Luis Valles
