Megan Baird Production Weld Inspector Megan Baird has been a part of the PESCO team for 3 years. She contributes an element of spunk, creative interest, and exceptional attention to detail. After taking a few years to invest in the vital role of becoming a mom, Megan was ready to get back into the workforce. PESCO gave her the opportunity she needed. Megan was an experienced welder and weld inspector. To refresh her skills, she participated in PESCO’s first Welding Bootcamp at San Juan College. Upon successful completion of the bootcamp, Megan took a position as a welder’s helper at PESCO’s La Plata site. When the opportunity arose, she volunteered to head up the K123 house project hoping it would lead to other opportunities. Her strategy proved accurate, and in a short time, she moved on to building skids at PESCO South. When the COVID-19 shutdowns began, there were several cutbacks. Megan’s position was halted, and she was laid-off. Determined to continue working at PESCO, she applied for various positions as they became available. After a strong recommendation from Megan’s former supervisor at PESCO South, she was offered a new position. She came on as a parts welder. Megan moved around to a few other projects, including work on the BayoTech Prototype, before moving into her current position. In her role as a QC Inspector, she undertakes weld inspections for departments including Weld Assembly, Code Weld, and Parts Weld. In addition, Megan’s position requires that she verify that raw materials meet specifications before they are used in the welding process. She also tracks and updates welding qualifications. When asked what she appreciates about PESCO, she said she “I enjoy the friendly culture where people know your name and take an interest in you as a person. Everyone is approachable. No one here is too important to be engaging and I appreciate that I am greeted by name.” She is grateful for the independence she has gained since working for PESCO. After a difficult divorce, Megan was left to build from the ground up. Her dad helped her find a place to rent and her mom gave her a vehicle. Working at PESCO has enabled Megan to purchase her own home and vehicle, providing stability for her and her daughter. She says her daughter is thriving and is part of the gifted program at school. Megan is also an artist. Some of her art pieces are on display at PESCO South in the Engineering Office. Before coming to PESCO, Megan used her talent to produce ISO Location Drawings for various businesses in the oil and gas industry. When asked about the culture of PESCO, Megan expressed gratitude for the intentionality toward developing leaders. She said, “Just because you get a promotion, it isn’t taken for granted that you know everything. Books are recommended to help people become better leaders.” She went on to talk about the quality of life that a person experiences when they are happy at their job. PESCO’s employees are, for the most part, happy because they are treated with respect and are valued. This in turn impacts their family and community lives, enabling employees to build better futures.t

James Kennedy is a 28-year-old father of eight. When his previous job required him to be out of town, leaving his wife home alone with their children for weeks, sometimes months, at a time, they decided he needed to find a new place of employment. He applied at PESCO and was hired at an entry level position as a pipe fitter. James is now the Hydro-Test Foreman. When Kennedy joined PESCO 4 years ago, hydro testing was part of the Service Department. Randy Large, Chief Operating Officer, was instrumental in restructuring and establishing several of the departments at PESCO. It was then that they decided to make hydro a team of its own and James was given the opportunity to be the first lead on the newly structured Hydro Testing Team. After seeing the success of the new structure, the decision was made to develop Hydro Testing as its own department and James was offered the foreman position. He helped build his department, saying he was grateful to have been given the opportunity. The attitude and atmosphere at PESCO are at the top of James’ list for why he enjoys his job. “At other places, employees are sometimes ‘just a number’. PESCO takes an interest in its employees and their families.” When asked what he has gained personally from working at PESCO, James said he has, for the first time, developed a sense of pride. “I used to consider myself a grunt with a wrench. PESCO has helped me to see that I can be more. They have helped me find inner strength and I have learned to lead and establish healthy boundaries. I’ve learned not to settle and always continue to do better and climb the ladder.” James’ hope for the industry is to see PESCO continue to grow and broaden their manufacturing capabilities. He has great respect for the leadership of PESCO, noting their proven record to lead well through tough times. James says, “I trust they will continue to do good and make wise decisions.” In his personal time, James keeps busy with family life and working his 5-acre farm, where he raises cattle and chickens. In his spare time, he enjoys building furniture for his wife. James and Roxanne have been married for 6 years. Two months into their new marriage they received a call to take in their first two foster children. Today they have 8 kids, 2 boys and 6 girls ranging in age from 4 to 14. James and his wife are working on adopting all their kids. With a big smile, he said, “It’s our forever family.” James’s goal is to retire from PESCO noting the standards with which they conduct business, “We care about the products we put out and do so with the highest values and integrity. It’s part of the reason I am happy to be a part of this company.”
