Q&A with Supervisor Scotty Fortner
Tell me about your journey at ERMCO.

In 2013, I worked in the Winding Room for one year and then I bid on a job in the Welding Department.

I worked as Paint Department Team Leader for two years before I was promoted to Plant Supervisor, followed by Core & Coil Department Supervisor. After two years, I was promoted to Metal Prep and Welding Department Supervisor. As of March 2023, I am the Welding Department Supervisor.

What advice would you give me for me to be successful at ERMCO?

My advice is for you to maintain a positive attitude and always be wiling to learn more about your job, the department and the production process.

How can I support our team and add value to ERMCO?

Good team members show up on time everyday with a positive attitude. They are also willing to help other teammates when needed. They never say, "That isn't my job."

How can I further my potential?

ERMCO is a team. To further your potential at ERMCO you must be willing to learn and always willing to lend a helping hand.

What is the best way for me to communicate with you?

Don't hesitate to come to my office or stop me on the floor. I'm always willing to talk. I start my morning by talking to my third shift employees and end my day by talking to my second shift employees.

If I can't make it to work, what do I do?

If you work in the Welding Department, you should call 731-259-0472. Your call will go the Team Leader's desk phone. If no one answers, please leave a clear message with your first and last name and reason for missing work. This must be done ONE HOUR PRIOR TO YOUR SHIFT start time. Then you should go to UKG and apply for time off to cover your absence.
