E N V I R O N M E N TA L AWA R E N E S S AT A G L A N C E "I am re- sponsible for a group of 35 Man- ufacturing and Process Engineers, Process Tech- nicians, and Managers. Our Merrimack site pro- duces more than 2 million life-saving medical devices per year. I take pride in my team and our role within Getinge in ensuring that our devic- es are available to the patients who need them. It has been humbling and rewarding to work for an organization that actively seeks to develop and promote internal candidates for leader- ship roles in the company. The coolest thing about my job is that I'm exposed to new technologies and new challenges each day. My advice for those considering a career in manufacturing is understanding that local manufacturing is an important part of our company's strategy and our commitment to our customers and their patients. The need for smart, driven, and hardworking people remains high in all levels of successful manufacturing organizations, and especially so in the life sciences and other regulated industries. You might be surprised to learn that your skills and experience outside of the manufacturing industry often translate to make you a highly desirable candidate to companies like Getinge."
