A Company on the Grow is one of the messages that Mark Schoettmer, Director of Human Resources of Enerfab, Inc., brought to the students of the Hobart Institute recently.  With ten regional offices and a combined manufacturing space of over 400,000 sq. ft., the company is looking for trained and qualified welders to keep pace with the demands of an expanding customer base.  With corporate headquarters in Cincinnati, they maintain offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay, St. Louis and Kansas City, MO, Minneapolis, Paducah, KY, Pittsburgh, and in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. 

Enerfab reaches out to provide maintenance and new construction for power plants, industrial boilers, mechanical contracting, and clean air technology.  Their welding is certified to ASME and ASNT codes and is x-ray inspected.  They maintain a proven track record of commitment to safety with a full-time staff dedicated to continuous improvement and standardized training. 

“At Enerfab our people are our greatest asset!  We pride ourselves on providing a safe working environment for our employees so that they return home safely every night,” says Wendell Bell, President/CEO. 

Quality is essential when working with boilers and pressure vessels.  That is why Enerfab maintains compliance to the ASME pressure and process piping codes and the National Board Inspection Code. 

“We also recognize quality in the level of training students receive from Hobart Institute,” says Mark Schoettmer.  “That is why we take time to visit with the upcoming graduates to offer them potential careers with ENERFAB.” 

The company fabricates new pipe modules, process piping, and custom fittings using stainless steel, carbon steel, copper, brass, chrome-moly, HastelloyÒ, InconelÒ, duplex stainless steel, titanium, and other specified alloys.    They also offer field installation of equipment and on site maintenance for industries including chemical and petrochemical, food and beverage, mining, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, and power generation.  ENERFAB’s customer listing is impressive as they work with the best in the business. 

“We are a company that makes things,” says Mark, and they are also a high-energy, progressive company that makes things happen!  ENERFAB is a large company with a small-company culture.  Over the past five years, they have been the third largest employer of boilermakers in the U.S. and apply “best of class” practices across all industry projects.  Across the board, from design engineering, project and contract management, fabrication, installation and inspection, to operation and maintenance, ENERFAB prides themselves on being problem solvers.
