Meet the team

Position: Fabricator
Name: Nicolas Deragon
Age: 20
Years at company: 2

What do you do on a day-to-day basis at your job?

Each day, one of the lead hands tells me what to work on. Sometimes it is continuing a welding project from the day before, or something new. Some days I go out of town with a crew to work at a customer site.

How did you arrive at your current position? What was your professional or career path?

My plan was to learn the more practical side of engineering, and ended up deciding that office work is not for me. I like the variety, challenges, and all the new things I get to learn.

What is the best part about your job?

Travelling to customer sites, which changes things up. It is gratifying to see what we can accomplish.

Position:  Head Welder
Name: Adam Finn
Age: 27
Years at company: 9.5

What do you do on a day-to-day basis at your job?

I oversee welding procedures and jobs, read drawings, weld on projects and make sure others are following expectations set out by the company.

How did you arrive at your current position? What was your professional or career path?

I started at the bottom, grinding and cleaning, working hard and keeping my head down. I knew if I did so, I would have the opportunity to move up.

What is the best part about your job?

The quality of the work we do. It’s never the same job each day. I like the problem- solving aspects and those occasions when I get to show the engineers that things don’t always go as planned!
