雇员聚焦。Samuel "Sam" Huat

弗雷德里克公司之所以伟大,其中一个原因是我们的员工在不同的岗位上兢兢业业,备受重视。因为我们有这样一个优秀的团队,我们决定在博客中重点介绍团队成员。

Today, we are shining the spotlight on Samuel “Sam” Huat. Sam is an Electronics Technician with 33 years of experience in calibrating, diagnosing, and repairing every Televac® vacuum measurement solution we offer. If you’ve used our calibration or repair services over the years, it’s very likely that Sam has worked directly with your unit!

Read on to learn more about Sam Huat:

What has changed or improved since you started working with the company?

When I first started, the Televac® portion of the company was in a separate building across the street. As the overall company expanded and the main building was renovated, we were able to move all departments into one building, making it easier for us to communicate with one another.

This was at a time when almost all documentation was paper and vacuum systems were controlled manually, so everything was much more time-consuming. Early on, Fredericks made significant investments in technology and automated systems, so that now everything is much more streamlined.

What has been your most memorable moment here at The Fredericks Company?

I remember when Mr. Walter Reimann became the President of the company. Mr. Reimann had such dedication to all of us, he really cared about all of his employees and made sure that the company grew year after year.

Mr. Reimann’s daughter, Mrs. Heidi McKenna, has since become the President. Like her father, she has the same passion for her employees and the company.

您最喜欢的岗位是什么?

Being able to come in every day and apply my knowledge on the job, especially in electronics with troubleshooting, repairing, and calibrating all of our vacuum measurement equipment.

What do you find more challenging about your role?

Every day at work can present a new challenge. I always do my best to keep up good workmanship and stay on schedule to maintain on-time delivery. I also think it’s important to communicate with everyone to solve work-related problems.

在Fredericks公司工作之前,你做过的最不寻常或最有趣的工作是什么?

Right after school (in France), I worked for an electronics company (GIGA Instruments and GIGA Modules) which specialized in high and ultra-high frequency instrumentation and modules on the outskirts of Paris for two years. I was a technician doing calibration and I liked the job very much since it was my first real job after school. While working there, I met my now wife in Paris on her vacation from the USA and decided to come to live with her a couple of years later in 1989.

My first job in the USA was in a small electronic component shop located in the industrial area by I-95 in Bensalem, PA. The business was not great and every week as soon we received our paycheck, we had to quickly run to the bank to cash it, otherwise, the check bounced. Sometimes the check bounced and I had to wait another week to be paid. That was something.
