Magnum first encountered TechnipFMC at an oil and gas event, where he was, he says, impressed by our technology. That was in 2007. Since then, Magnum has helped to set up some of our most innovative technologies and processes. Here’s what working with TechnipFMC means to him.
"The first major highlight of my career with TechnipFMC was my involvement in the implementation of the Açu Flexible Pipe Plant. During that period, I took part in the training process for new employees, and in the setup of the new plant. At the same time, I was promoted to the position of Technical Leader.
Later, I twice traveled to France to work on the development of a new product. That gave me almost six months of experience in working in another country.
More recently, as part of the plant team on the Hybrid Flexible Pipe project, I spent three months at the Magma plant in Portsmouth, England, closely monitoring project development. I’m very proud to be working on flexible pipe manufacturing – in fact I get quite emotional when I talk about my professional life. It’s amazing to know how important this product is for our industry.
I’ve been part of various collaborative projects while working at our Açu plant, and I’m also part of our important work to keep our people safe and create a positive working culture. I’m involved in local safety initiatives such as CIPA (Internal Accident Prevention Commission) and SIPAT (Internal Accident Prevention Week). I’m also a volunteer in the Diversity Group, which I think is a valuable space where we can discuss topics related to diversity and inclusion at TechnipFMC.
The aspect of our culture I relate to most is psychological safety. That is, being able to talk openly about both work and personal issues in an open and safe environment. Knowing my managers will listen to me and deal fairly with me is an important pillar for my personal and career development.
If you’re looking for a place where you can develop your career, TechnipFMC is certainly the right place. It provides opportunities for learning and growth as well as the opportunity to work in several areas, across different units and even in other countries, which is very rewarding. I have no doubt that joining our team will add a lot to your personal and professional life."
