Durrell Jenkins, a KEP team member for over 2 years, currently works as a custom dipping operator at our Kent facility. Durrell is the jack of all trades! He held a position as a dip room operator, then an extrusion operator, before assuming his current role. Durrell works to maintain the proper operation of our dip room machines, helping to ensure that our products consistently meet quality standards.
Durrell’s best day at work is when everything is running properly and he finishes all assigned tasks. His advice for colleagues is simple – “Show up every day and give it your best.” We couldn’t have said it better! Outside of KEP, Durrell enjoys spending time with his family, including his fiancee, Tia, and three daughters.
