Did you know National Manufacturing Day is this tomorrow? To help celebrate, we reached out to the heart of Flowserve, our people, to hear about what this day means to them.
Sámuel Szabolcsi joined the Flowserve team about five years ago, after his time at the Technical University of Budapest. As a Senior Engineer, Sámuel is fueled by his desire to know how machines function. His favorite part about his role is evaluating the fluid mechanical simulations he works on. “In this process, we can get an insight into what's going on in the machine and learn about it in detail.” Sámuel enjoys a challenging project, saying, “We often encounter cases where there is no ready-made solution, and we have to rely on our creativity and experiences to solve those problems.” Finding different solutions to his teams’ technical problems is what keeps him busy and motivates him daily. Working on challenging projects requires a team that works well together. Sámuel appreciates the knowledge and experiences his colleagues share with the team and the professionalism they bring to each project. “We work very well together and act as one to achieve our goals.” Outside of his job, Sámuel enjoys designing and building origami models. “Origami requires a lot of concentration, which helps me relax and clear my mind at the end of the day. It is also great for developing spatial vision and fine motor skills.”
Ivan started working at Flowserve over five years ago, serving in multiple positions including Accountant, Senior Financial Analyst and Cost Controller. He enjoys working with teams across multiple departments and coming together for one common goal – our customers. "Seeing different processes and perspectives across different departments adds great value to my day-to-day work.” Ivan says his responsibilities are extensive, and his work can be complex. “It’s often like a big puzzle that I get to discover and enjoy the flow of each day I go to work. This flow inspires me to move forward and progress with great colleagues who are consistently seeking innovative solutions as a team.” In his free time, Ivan enjoys exercising, playing football (soccer) on a local team, and playing with his son.
After college, David had a hard time finding a position in computer programming, so he secured a job as a CNC operator. Five years later, he brought his machining talent to #Flowserve. He enjoys math and working with numbers, both of which are needed for machining. “I’ve always been a technical kind of person, and this job requires technical know-how, so I like those challenges.” David’s proudest accomplishment is his promotion from Machinist 2 to Machinist 3. “With hard work, dedication and abundant mentorship, I had a working knowledge of most of the equipment in the manufacturing division here at the Bridgeport QRC in less than 2 years.” Asked about the mentorship part of his success and growth, David says Flowserve’s people have been key. “Almost all my colleagues and supervisors have inspired and encouraged me to do well, and they are always willing to share their knowledge.”
Representatives of our Houston and Pasadena sites attended the June 2023 RecruitMilitary Job Fair in Houston, TX to speak with U.S. veterans, military spouses, transitioning military, and members of the Guard and Reserve about the many career opportunities available at Flowserve.
Associates Jonathan Shumake and Gary Anders of Flowserve Taneytown attended the Maryland Department of Labor's Frederick County Career Fair and Resource Expo. We were appreciative of the opportunity to unite with the community to continue driving local employment, share information on the range of Flowserve job opportunities and meet with professionals of diverse backgrounds, disciplines and experience levels.
Meet Alan Garcia, our latest Employee Spotlight. He joined as a result of our college recruitment program in Mexico, starting in 2013 as a Manufacturing Engineer. Since then, he has worked diligently in a variety of positions to reach his current role, Quality Assurance Manager in which he oversees the region’s 10 facilities. Alan says the favorite part of his work is having the opportunity to “inspire the associates I work with and help them achieve things that may have seemed impossible before.” During an average week, he visits two sites every day so he is physically in all the region’s sites to support their projects and translate the division strategy into tailored, tactical plans. Alan is inspired by the chance to be part of building Flowserve’s future and creating those “extraordinary solutions to make the world better for everyone.” He takes ownership of the quality of work his region provides and says he always encourages his team members to feel proud of what they do. Outside of work, Alan enjoys camping, photography, and road tripping to Mexico’s many “Magical Towns.”
