Get to Know Bobby, Our Tube Fabrication Manager

The Order of Business

For Bobby and his team, the workday kicks off bright and early at 6:30 a.m. This early start is critical to maintain the efficiency and productivity that TMCO is known for. “Tube fab days begin at 6:30 a.m., and after getting the work queues ready, I’ll check in with the team to see how they’re doing,” Bobby shares. This routine ensures that the team is aligned and ready to tackle the day’s tasks with clarity and purpose.

Bobby’s leadership style is hands-on and supportive. “I make sure our operators always know what order jobs need to be done in,” he explains. This clear communication helps streamline operations, minimize confusion, and ensure that every team member is on the same page. By prioritizing tasks and setting clear expectations, Bobby helps his team maintain a smooth and efficient workflow.

The Power of Collaboration

One of the key aspects of Bobby’s role is fostering collaboration, not just within his team but across different departments. “We’re always communicating with other departments to see if they, or a client, needs anything so we can meet the delivery deadline,” he says. This proactive communication ensures that potential issues are identified and addressed promptly, facilitating seamless coordination and timely delivery of projects.

Collaboration is at the heart of TMCO’s success. By working closely with other departments, Bobby and his team can adapt to changing requirements and provide the flexibility needed to meet client expectations. This integrated approach underscores TMCO’s commitment to delivering high-quality products on time, every time.

What Makes TMCO Great?

For Bobby, one of the standout features of TMCO is its inclusive and open culture. “Input is always valued. No matter what your position is, I’ve found TMCO is always willing to listen,” he notes. This culture of inclusivity and respect empowers every team member to contribute ideas and feedback, fostering a sense of ownership and pride in their work.

At TMCO, we believe that great ideas can come from anyone, regardless of their role or tenure. By valuing input from all employees, we cultivate an environment of continuous improvement and innovation. Bobby’s experience is a testament to this philosophy, highlighting how TMCO nurtures talent and encourages collaboration at every level.
