Company Overview: Formerly Henergy Eggs
I have been employed at Better Eggs for a total of 19 years. I’ve held various jobs in the company over the years.
I started out as a farm hand. The work entailed maintenance and cleaning out of sheds, in the earlier years the farm was mostly manually, in that, it was a mostly physical work, 8ncluding but not limited to loading egg catch trays onto trailers which would then be graded according to size and quality. We were grading up to about thirty thousand Eggs per day then.
When the farm became automated I was given the sole responsibility of running the Egg Wash. Farm Eggs are collected, palletised onto reusable plastic trays and I would operate the egg washing equipment.
Streamlined operations by effectively using automated equipment for faster and more efficient packing.
Contributed to the company''s ongoing growth and success through consistent dedication to quality, safety, and efficiency in all aspects of the egg-packing process.
Minimized downtime during peak periods through proactive equipment maintenance checks and prompt problem resolution when needed.
Adhered to food safety standards during the entire packing process, ensuring the highest level of sanitation was maintained at all times.
Ensured egg quality by carefully inspecting each egg for cracks, dirt, and other imperfections before packaging.
Maximized customer satisfaction with accurately filled and timely shipped orders, adhering to strict deadlines.
The farm grades 5 times more eggs than it used to.
As part of my responsibilities, I would be required to keep manual records of specific collection dates, which barns the eggs were collected from and input this data into our computer system.
Communicated regularly with supervisors regarding any issues or concerns related to the packing process or equipment functionality.
