Nearly 200 have 20-plus years with the company
And the average tenure of all manufacturing associates is 12 years
I would say that there are
a lot of opportunities
machining is a very exciting
career path and working with Swagelok there are many doors that can open.
I would recommend machining because
it does pay a competitive wage
if you like the challenge of learning something every day
because I learn something everyday with these parts
and learning is the keep to
advancing in any situation
one of my favorite parts of the job is doing setups every day
it keeps me motivated, it keeps you thinking there's always something new to learn about a set up
as every part is different
I started out as a machine operator
I learned how to run and set up various types of equipment
I then was promoted to a setup operator where I supported a manufacturing line
during that time I went to school for chemical engineering technology
and now I'm a supervisor
I started off as a temp
and then I got hired on. After that the ball started rolling and opportunities opened up for me
I got into OJT
I got into first aid respondent. I setup. I made it to level 3
We are a machining company
and there are a number of machining platforms and once you move through that
machining area
you can move into a set-up role.
you can move into a support team role. you can become a programmer.
you can move up to become a technician. you can become a supervisor.
I believe that if you have the right skills and the motivation you can move
all the way up into the higher levels of management
we have top of the line equipment
to be able to make quality parts
we have conventional screw machines
CNC equipment transfer equipment
a lot of new cutting edge technology and the atmosphere is very clean
when you think of a machine shop
you know sometimes you think of
dingy dark environments but the lighting here is exceptional
the floors are very clean
equipment is kept up to make sure that the operators are safe as well
our associates are also offered a machining 101 class
when they come into Swagelok we teach them the fundamentals and the basics
for them to be successful out on the floor
then they're grouped with an on-the-job trainer
to even enhance those skills further
well the training that that I've received
and provide is a
training program that comes from established on-the-job trainers
we know them as OJTs
that training approaches the machine
and all the functions of the machine through best practice standard work
their training is
the best that i've ever had
since I've become a machinist
I mean the 6 weeks of
training that I had was pretty intense and I learned everything I needed to know
to run a machine the way Swagelok wants me to run a machine
I enjoy being part of a team that
manufactures the best
fluid components in the world
just a great environment
clean, safe,
fun place to work
i've never seen a work environment
that has so many friendly people
that speaks to the type of company this is.
This is the best company I've ever worked for.
I'm here for the dedication
I like coming to work every day
I like doing my job
There are 6 values that
hold us together here at Swagelok
and one of those values I think that is the glue

I love being a part of Swagelok
I feel like I'm a part of the
most precise
fitting supplier in the world
I don't think there's a better place to work as far as safety
