What People are Saying about Nick Niquette

  • What Jason Schultz, Engineering Manager had to say.

    I am writing to convey my utmost respect and professional admiration for Nick Niquette, a Tool and Die Maker with whom I had the privilege of working at Safran for about one and a half years before I transitioned to a new opportunity. During our collaboration, Nick stood out as an exceptional asset to our engineering team, demonstrating not only a high level of skill in his craft but also a remarkable ability to innovate and improve our operations.

    Nick's precision in machining and his forward-thinking approach to problem-solving were instrumental in enhancing our project outcomes. His knack for devising economical yet effective solutions consistently led to significant process improvements and cost savings for our department. Beyond his primary role, Nick showcased an impressive versatility by adeptly managing maintenance schedules, meticulously logging operational data, and calculating ROI for capital expenditures, thereby exhibiting a profound understanding of our business's broader objectives.

    It's important to note that my recommendation of Nick comes with a sense of caution; he is such a valuable team member that the thought of him moving on is met with a blend of pride and reluctance. His departure would undoubtedly leave a void difficult to fill. However, knowing the immense value Nick brings, I would not hesitate to welcome him into any team I am part of in the future, confident in the exceptional skills and work ethic he would contribute.

    Should you require any further information or wish to discuss Nick's professional qualifications and contributions in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am more than willing to provide any assistance that could support your consideration of Nick for new opportunities or projects.
