For Todd, working for TechnipFMC feels like home. He is passionate about our company and how he and other people can play a part in our success story.
Todd is a Service Specialist (Technician IV) in our Surface Technologies business, based in Odessa, Texas, and he is proud of what we are creating.
He says, “Much of the work we do here is spectacular and, every day, I strive to make us a global leader. I’ve been working for 40 years, and, in my view, this company is number one when it comes to the diversity of its people and the chance to meet and work with colleagues from all over the world.”
It’s not only the diversity of the TechnipFMC team that makes Todd proud. He appreciates the fact that his talented colleagues are world-class operators.
Todd adds, “I have been fortunate to work with the best people in the company. Since joining in 2011, I’ve gone through the ranks of technicians to become a Service Specialist and Rotational Technician. I’ve worked across the United States, and I’ve had the opportunity to pass on my experience to others.”
Using his knowledge to help his colleagues has also given him a level of personal satisfaction that goes far beyond the pleasure of picking up his paycheck.
He says, “We gain knowledge and experience every day, but the people we meet along the way are always fascinating and some will become lifelong friends.”
Todd is proud of the legacy that he and his colleagues will leave for future generations. He adds, “This isn’t just a job for me. It’s my company and my profession.”
And he has left his own personal seal of quality on each successful project. He says, “My name is on many wells in the United States. I have signed it on every well I worked on. When I do a job, I do the very best I can and the feeling of accomplishment you get when you deliver these projects is incredible.
“So, in 20 to 30 years’ time, when the well has to be worked on again, I know I did everything right and the person who’s working on the well in the future won’t have to worry about any nasty surprises.
“To give the customer more than they thought they needed is the best feeling. I love proving that they made the right choice in choosing TechnipFMC to be their partner.”
It’s clear that Todd – who sets up feeding stations for wild animals and cleans up others trash when he scuba dives with his wife – is a team player, both at home and at work. Professionally, he enjoys being out there in the field with his teammates, aiming for excellence.
He also knows that TechnipFMC is a place where individuals can thrive – an organization where colleagues can stand up, speak freely, and be heard.
Todd says, “People who join our company should be ready to stand up for what they believe in. They can point out things they are worried about, safe in the knowledge that TechnipFMC will back them up. Honesty and integrity are so important, in life and business.”
Pride, talent, and compassion are three of the key ingredients that Todd brings to the table at TechnipFMC.
As a company, we’re always looking for gifted, enthusiastic, and caring people to join him and help write the next chapter of our success story.
