His current role is in shipping and receiving, but Grant has done it all.
“I started off on the big dishing press,” he says, “which forms heads from 60 inches up to 144. Then from there I went to the smaller press and I did the smaller heads, about 10 inches to 25 inches, for the smaller flanger, then I went into the old style press, which is punch and dye where you make the head start to finish without a flanger.”
After that, Grant moved on to maintenance as well as cutting plates to size for heads.
Grant is a second generation ConrEXPERT. His father worked here in the 1960s and he’s known a lot of the team since he was a kid.
“Back when I was doing welding in high school, I’d come down here to talk to the welder because he had tips on what to do,” he says with a smile.
One of the things he loves about his job is the teamwork. Everyone is part of quality control and everyone is proud of the work they produce.
Grant lives with his wife about 45 minutes away on the beautiful Rideau canal, and they enjoy camping in Ontario’s beautiful provincial parks.
Thank you Grant for more than 3 decades of dedicated service.
