On episode 37 of the FoodGrads podcast we interviewed Robert Cunliffe, Maintenance Manager/Millwright at Flamaglo Foods Limited.

"Ask questions, ask questions.  Don’t be afraid to fail. Asking a question sometimes can be as hard or harder than failing. Even now there are things that Robert still feels that he can feel ashamed or afraid to ask. If somebody thinks that I should already know the answer to that question. And it might take me a few minutes to build up the courage to say but just go for it."

 

On this episode Robert and we talked about what it’s like being both a Maintenance Manager and Millwright Mechanic and why he decided to get into this career path. We spent a lot of time focusing on what Robert does daily and the overall work environment at a manufacturing plant. Veronica always wondered what the process was like getting a new piece of equipment from a mechanics point of view and how they learn to use such intricate pieces of equipment.

 

 

Finally, we picked Robert’s brain on what he thinks the future of being a millwright looks like, the skills he thinks are important for the job and his experience going for an electrical certification.
