In my animal health technician role, I operated equipment like the Lely A5 robots for milking cows and conducted regular maintenance checks to ensure they were functional and proper. I performed routine cleaning checks for errors and troubleshoot issues with the team to ensure smooth operations and high animal welfare standards. And since well I'm applying for this role of cleaning buses, I'll apply similar diligence to machinery or tools in a bus cleaning role, ensuring they are well maintained and functional correctly.
During my last day in university in an academic lab work, we faced a challenge with proper sanitation protocols after a series of experiments. I took the lead in reviewing our procedures, identified areas for improvement, and worked with my team to implement more efficient cleaning and sanitation methods, reduced contamination risk, and improved lab safety.
In a previous role as an animal health technician, accuracy was crucial when conducting tests like Rose Bengal test. One thing at a time, I had to ensure accurate results for a batch of brucellosis tests. To achieve these things, I used to double test samples, labels, and IDs, follow standard operations procedures precisely, use calibrated equipment, verify the result with a colleague before reporting.
