SAFETY IN MAINTENANCE: Protecting Workers and Ensuring Reliability

Jesse Brady

Technical Specialist

Born and raised in Central Illinois, I take great pride in the ability to help manufacturers improve their operational efficiencies. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in a variety of industries and environments from metals and plastics to electronics recycling. I’ve developed a strong background in quality, safety, and continuous improvement. My past roles range from sales, sourcing, and operations & maintenance under wide range of Management Systems: ISO 9001, ISO 14001 & ISO 50001.

I am passionate about consistently producing the best quality of service while always remaining positive, organized and ready to solve complex issues to improve performance. My diverse professional background grants me a unique perspective as to how management systems impact all processes within a company. At IMEC, I get to use my expertise and leverage a multitude of resources to help Illinois manufacturers create and sustain a competitive advantage.
