If you’ve partnered with the talented team at Reata before, you may be aware of the state-of-the-art software and equipment we use on a daily basis. From advanced automation systems to cutting-edge machining tools, we’ve made significant investments in the technology that powers our operations at our Colorado machine shop.
But as advanced as our tools are, they’re only as effective as the people who run them. That’s why we believe the real key to our success lies in our talented team of hard-working individuals.
We’re committed to investing in our people just as we’ve done so in our technology solutions. Because no machine, no matter how advanced, can replace the expertise, creativity, and critical thinking that our team members bring to the table.
Our Philosophy: Automation Requires Smart People
There’s a common misconception that automation and AI are taking jobs in manufacturing. Here at Reata, we believe the opposite is true. Automation doesn’t replace people; it requires them. Our precision machine shop needs smart, highly skilled individuals who can operate, troubleshoot, and innovate alongside these tools.
Our team is comprised of customer-focused problem-solvers with an unmatched ability to leverage technology and deliver exceptional results for our customers. Whether setting up processes, programming software, or executing our precision machining services, every role at Reata is critical in delivering quality and efficiency.
Building a Culture of Excellence through Training and Development
We don’t just hire great people—we do what it takes to empower them to grow. Reata invests in leadership training and technical education to provide our people with the skills they need to thrive in their roles. Plus, we place a strong emphasis on offering the opportunity to communicate with our customers whenever possible so they can understand our customers’ needs on a deeper level.
Through continuous learning opportunities, we empower our talented team to stay ahead of industry trends and adapt to new challenges. This focus on growth and improvement ensures that our employees are equipped to make thoughtful decisions, solve problems effectively, and deliver for our customers.
Connecting the Dots: How Every Role Impacts Our Customers
At Reata, we emphasize how every individual’s work contributes to the bigger picture of what we do. It’s important for team members to see how their roles directly impact the customer and the team as a whole.
For example:
- How an engineer sets up a process affects the programmer.
- How the engineer and programmer operate directly impacts the machinist’s ability to execute production.
- Every process, from initial design to final assembly, is the difference between satisfied customers and complete rework.
By fostering this understanding, we create a collaborative environment where everyone in the organization is aligned toward a common goal: delivering the best products and experiences to our customers.
Critical Thinking Sets the Stage for Successful Partnerships
In our fast-moving industry, it’s second nature to want to solve problems and move on to the next project as quickly as possible. But at Reata, we remind ourselves to take a step back and evaluate each project critically and strategically. We aren’t focused on short-term, “get-it-done” solutions; we’re setting up our teams and customers for long-term, successful partnerships, and with that comes analysis of what and how we did.
