José’s career at Supratec

"I joined Supratec in 2011 at SUPRATEC RS2i as a Sheet Metal Boilermaker. Since 2017, I have continued working in this trade but for SUPRATEC Synergies. This change of brand allows me to work on new projects."

A few words about his profession

"My job consists in working metals to shape them before assembling them through bending, welding, or embossing: ferrous metals, copper, brass, stainless steel or light alloys like aluminium.
I manufacture tubes, containers, and structure components both small and mighty.
To do this, I cut the parts in sheet metal according to the drawings. I also shape metal parts using digital machines.
The work of a boilermaker requires care and meticulousness when working each part, not to mention good physical strength because you have to handle parts and machines that are often very heavy, with or without handling equipment, all whilst being on your feet all day."

His daily routine

"For SUPRATEC RS2i I manufactured locksmithing components such as gates, guard rails, and handrails.
Now for SUPRATEC Synergies, I prepare parts for our design office’s prototypes. We adapt the parts to the client's requirement, in collaboration with the engineers.
I’m also a source of proposals for simple solutions that improve the product and meet the demand of clients."

His most memorable project

"Without a doubt, the new version of SteamFlex was one of my most memorable projects. In fact, we improved many of the product’s components compared to the first version.
We had to find practical and fast solutions. So we carried out some research to adapt some parts and improve the product.
Our proposals were expanded and approved, arriving at the current version of SteamFlex.
There was true cohesion and team work between our workshops and the DO engineers, which was extremely rewarding and gratifying for us.
Besides creating the parts, we had a real thinking process."

His next challenge

"I don’t have one for the moment but I’m waiting impatiently and enthusiastically! These projects that go beyond the everyday are motivating and rewarding. I'm always up for new challenges!"

A final word from José

"There’s good cohesion and understanding between us. The sincerity and mutual trust that emerge from our working relationships with SUPRATEC Synergies are my daily motivator."
