What Our Employees Have To Say

One of the things I appreciate most about CaptiveAire is how strongly it embodies the entrepreneurial spirit. I’m empowered with the autonomy to manage my work independently, while also benefiting from the robust support and resources of a large, well-established company.

We want to stay on the cutting edge and so are constantly sourcing and utilizing the best equipment available. Any position can provide feedback that is listened to and incorporated into processes. Collaboration is key at CaptiveAire and so there is no being “Silo-ed” into one area.

CaptiveAire is fast-moving and no-nonsense. We operate differently than any other company that I've worked for with our decentralized structure. Quick action is taken when a good idea is presented. We are focused on end users where the rest of the industry is very short-sighted. We are on the front lines, actively changing the landscape of the HVAC industry.

A Day In The Life

A typical day often includes collaborating with our manufacturing team to better understand day-to-day processes and roadblocks. The team then documents and creates opportunities for improvement and partners with supervisors & managers to ensure a smooth implementation process of these solutions. Workshopping ideas with other IEs at different plant locations is essential to ensure a companywide implementation success.

Typical tasks also include taking a lead role in project and process implementation across all plants, facilitating communication and task completion and serving as center point of communication across all manufacturing plants.

Continuous improvement is a heavy focus and so there is an ability to get involved in tasks that range from small quick process improvements to larger company-wide projects that must be collaborated with directors. IEs often have ownership of a project from concept to sustainability and so it is easy to have a sense of pride and accountability in the work we do. The IE team also assists in finding additional automation as well as researching the best way it can be utilized by our plants, which offers many opportunities to expand our current knowledge.
