Alex Avila
Alex consistently shows up to work and does his job with a good attitude. He is a positive person and I have never heard him complain about anything.

Alex Avila
Alex is always willing to help and step up. Always friendly and has a smile on his face.

Alex Avila
I would like to nominate Alex for G.E.M. of the month. He is always happy to see you. He always let me know when they are working on tanks that have special configurations done to them so that we can get photos taken. He is kind and respectful and if I have needed something he has always helped me.

Alex Avila
Alex is always willing to help, he is always in a good mode. We have been short handed in Engineered Tanks, Alex helped pick up the slack and knows when things need to be done ASAP. He is a “Can Do – Will Do” person!

Nominated by his fellow Peabody Team Members – Congratulations to Art Avila who works in our Rotomolding Division making our Peabody Tanks and Tank Related Products, on being August 2018 G.E.M. Winner!

Here are some of the comments we received on him from his fellow Team Members for G.E.M. Going the Extra Mile:

Art Avila
I believe Art needs to be recognized for his ability to work in the heat right in the middle of the ovens and continually produce top quality products with the least amount of scrap. Making sure all pieces come out 100% good.

Art Avila
Art does a lot of working running Charlie by himself back there. I am sure its not easy being in the back coroner in that heat, but I never hear him complain. He is always very friendly and makes an effort to say hi to me and ask me how I’m doing.

Art Avila
Art works well with others and enjoys teaching our temps a new trade. He is a happy person which makes a good working environment. Art is always friendly and will treat you with respect.

Art Avila
Art has worked solo on Charlie, no complaints and he just gets the job done. He always has a smile on his face and is very friendly. He pays attention to detail. He molds our tanks with minimal problems. He expects excellence from himself and others.

Nominated by his fellow Peabody Team Members – Congratulations to Jesse Aramburo, who works in our Custom Fabrication Department, on being July 2018 G.E.M. Winner!

Here are some of the comments we received on him from his fellow Team Members for G.E.M. Going the Extra Mile:

Jesse Aramburo
Will help in any department at any time. Always looking for more to do. Any time or any department he will always do a great job.

Jesse Aramburo
He is a good worker.

Jesse Aramburo
Jesse was a temp before he started full time at Peabody Engineering. You could tell right from the start that he was a good fit with the Team. He just has the best attitude and loves to work here at Peabody.

When Jesse would see new temps here he would tell them, “show up on time, do a good job, this is a great place to work”. He always encourages everyone. Such a positive attitude.

One day Jesse told me that Peabody had done more for him in 2 months than previous employers had done for him in 30 years. WHAT a compliment.

Jesse is true to his word. If asked he will tell you the truth and wants to help Peabody be the best it can be every day. He also likes to mentor and train new employees. This is why I wanted to nominate a man that invests into other Team members.

What a blessing he is to have at Peabody Engineering.

Here are some of the comments we received on him from his fellow Team Members for G.E.M. Going the Extra Mile:

I think Jorge did a good job handling things when Armando was gone. There were even a few things he helped me with. He’s always very friendly towards me which makes working with him easy.

Jorge Arroyos
Jorge stepped up in Armando’s absence and helped keep Production running. Jorge is stretched in a lot of directions and has adapted well. He brings a sense of Humor to tough situations, he keeps a balance between getting the job done and ensuring it is done right.

Jorge Arroyos
Besides his daily duties, Jorge is allover the warehouse helping other departments. Jorge is definitely a great example of a leader. During Armando’s absence Jorge continued to push the work agenda through no matter what challenges are thrown at him he seems to get the job done.

Jorge Arroyos
Without hesitation Jorge is always willing and able to step in and lend a helping hand. His eagerness in wanting to help you succeed in your job is a testament to his character. He works hard, he keeps projects moving forward, he provides solutions and always with a twinkle in his eye he has never let me down in helping with whatever challenge I need help with.

Always offering help – always acknowledges the women with respect. Does a great job with the pump shelves, they look great.

Martin Ochoa
Always kind and respectful. I see him working on the Pump Containment Enclosures mainly and he gives it his full attention, making sure they are prepped, put together and clean. He ensures the quality of the product is up to the highest standards of Peabody Engineering. If another department needs a helping hand I see him without hesitation helping his fellow Peabody Team members. He has a genuine caring way about him.

Martin Ochoa
Martin works hard at getting our pump shelfs out. He takes great pride in his work. He always says Good Morning to me with a smile, he makes sure he tells me Happy Mother’s Day. Martin will let me know when he is low on parts, so he never runs out. He does such a great job on our pump shelfs. I can’t recall when we had any come back because of a bad part.

He is hardworking and focused on all the myriad of things that he must do and take care of in the shipping department. He helps when and where he can and if he can’t take care of your needs right at that moment, he will get it done somewhere down the line.
