Tim’s contributions

“Tim’s understanding of the manufacturing processes at Donaldson Torit, and his ability to listen to the needs of the customers and respond accordingly, have allowed him to become one of Torit’s most valued and experienced engineers,” said LaJean Larsen, an applications engineering manager at Donaldson Torit. “Testimony to the expertise Tim gained in his five years of employment with Donaldson Torit would be the leadership he provides at all four Industrial Ventilation Conferences each year as a presenter and classroom instructor. The quality of Tim’s engineering expertise has likely helped many manufacturers thrive despite the challenging economy.”

Why a career in manufacturing?

“For as long as I can remember, I was always fascinated by how things were made and worked. This fascination made the choice to pursue an engineering degree and ultimately a career in manufacturing an easy one. Today I utilize my knowledge and troubleshooting skills to educate customers on how Donaldson Torit’s equipment can optimize their process without compromising their production. I am very fortunate to be a technical voice for Donaldson Torit to the customer as well as be involved in teaching at the Industrial Ventilation Conferences around the U.S.”

2012 Salary Survey

In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.

Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
