Gwen Bartel, Lead Hand
My Job
Where I work
I'm a Lead Hand in the tech plastics area called "lay-up" for 777, Boeing Canada. There are 17 people in my area. Boeing has one plant in Winnipeg but the head plant is in Seattle, Washington.
There are smaller locations throughout the US but this is the only location in Winnipeg and we focus on the strut (both forward and aft of wings) and under wing to wing panesl (wing to body).
Boeing has been on Murray Park Road for approximately 35 years. This location has recently had three phases of expansion.
