Careers

Jennifer grew up with a desire to work with her hands in the automotive industry. She would often work with friends on their car repairs in her free time and became a hairdresser—a career path selected because her parents told her welding and machining was not a field for girls.

Fast forward some years, and Jennifer decided to go back to her dream and started working at Titeflex Europe. She showed interest and promise, and we sponsored her schooling, where teachers reported her exceptionally talented. Turned out, Jennifer passed her certificate training in record time, twice—a never-seen-before feat at The Welding Institute.

During Covid lockdown, instead of picking up a new skill, Jennifer asked to go for more welding qualifications, and she proved again to be a star performer. She has been nominated by instructors to go for an engineer level welding certificate, and studying machining when not doing that or working. Jennifer shows tenacity and perseverance like no other, and we are proud to have her as part of our team.

Ashley Clements has been with STS Aerospace since March 2020.  She started her journey as a Final Inspector, then moved into the DSQR role.  She is now a Quality Engineer!  “My new position was a goal of mine when I started working here.  I always like to ask why, and not accept something for what it is and that’s helped me learn and understand my job better.”

Manju joined Titeflex at the young age of 19 as a production fitter on the shop floor, where he learned the ropes methodically and became a perfectionist of his craft. His broad thinking and curiosity was noticed amidst his production skills, and he was promoted to the Planning department. Since his promotion, Manju has implemented significant improvements, resulting in time and money savings, earning him the Flex-tek Excellence Award for Production Excellence.

During this time, Manju also learned how to turn his excellent communication skills into a new venture, as he won the Inter Divisional Public Speaking Contest for Flex-tek and Smiths. During his free time, Manju enjoys spending time with his wife Arpitha and son Pragnay, and playing volleyball, cricket, and relaxing.

Our Environmental Test Lab team has contributed monumentally to our success the Flex and Metal hose market. Without the dedication and commitment of these individuals, we would not be who we are in the aerospace industry. The lab team consists of Mark Rennie, Longin Muza, and Jay Gilson along with the Engineering, R&D, and Production teams as their main support systems. Most recently, the team has gone above and beyond processing and completing critical testing, providing conformance to qualified product. Not only does this team consistently meet scheduled requirements, they can sprint at a moment’s notice to satisfy additional requests. This often requires weekends and off-shifts, disrupts schedules and requires personal sacrifices. This can-do team rises to the occasion time and time again with no complaints. The next time you see any of these individuals, give them a thank-you—for they maintain our top-performing status.
