Background

About Dakota Etheridge

With over ten years of experience in the blue-collar hands-on industry, I am a mechanical assembly at Belvac, a leading provider of high-speed production machinery for the beverage, food, and aerosol industries. I have earned the Rigger 1 qualification, the forklift certification, and the Inker Flow Line Integration Kaizen, which demonstrate my skills and knowledge in handling, operating, and installing complex equipment and systems. Before joining Belvac in June 2021, I worked as an operator laborer at Toney Construction Company, a directional drilling company, and as a travelling conveyor installer at Automated Conveyor Systems, a leader in custom conveyor solutions. In these roles, I gained valuable experience in working with different types of machinery, tools, and materials, as well as reading and following blueprints, instructions, and safety protocols. I am passionate about learning new things, solving problems, and delivering quality work. I take pride in being a reliable, hardworking, and adaptable team player who can perform well under pressure and in various environments.
