Aaron started with TPS in 2007 as a Welder. Aaron is a graduate of the Welding program at SUN Area Technical School, New Berlin, PA. In 2017, Aaron was the lead person on our second shift for a time before he decided to move into the Gruenberg assembly department.

While working in welding, Aaron’s job involves welding together metal frames and sheet metal components to construct the cabinets for our industrial ovens and environmental testing chambers using electric arc TIG and WIG welding techniques. Aaron is the lead person on our second shift and he is pictured next to a cabinet he is about to start putting together in our welding area.

“I love working at TPS-it’s the Taj Mahal of fab shops! TPS provides a great atmosphere to work- it’s clean and climate-controlled and the work I do is challenging. It’s very satisfying to work on projects and see the end results, plus the people I work with are fantastic!”

In Gruenberg assembly, Aaron is responsible for following prints to construct and assemble industrial ovens and pharmaceutical equipment.

“I like working in assembly because it’s challenging work following schematics to assemble custom ovens from the frame up. I was able to bring my welding knowledge to this position, but have also learned a lot, including some electrical and shipping knowledge. In this department, you learn a variety of skills and knowledge that can be applied to almost every department at TPS. I also like working as part of a larger good group of people to accomplish our goals, which includes both production employees and engineers working as a team.”
