Erin Buckley

Q: Can you recall the most important experiences from your internship that helped you prepare for your current role?

"A: As an intern, I worked very closely with the Vice President of Tax and Director of Tax and was tasked with many responsibilities that were out of my realm of knowledge at the time. My former director always encouraged me to ask questions, would explain tasks thoroughly, and squeeze in any form of education she could. Since being hired full-time, I have been lucky to have a manager who does the same. It is nice having mentors who genuinely want you to learn and succeed, and that has been my most important experience since joining Barnes."

Brian Butler

Q: Can you recall the most important experiences from your internship that helped you prepare for your current role as a manager?

"A: Absorbing whatever I could from the cumulative years of experience of individuals from all departments, some of whom had been here since before I was born, broadened my understanding of all areas and shaped my work personality. Being open to positive and negative feedback helped me learn to be more professional. Whether an intern, new engineer, or seasoned engineer, you should always get involved in the process, working closely with the operators and cross-functional teams to fully understand the inputs' impact on the output."

Madeleine Hasson

Q: How did your decision to start your career as an intern help you become a more effective Sustainability Analyst for HS&E?

"A: Interning at Barnes allowed me to learn about the Company and understand what was expected working in HSE before starting full-time. Being an intern allowed me to develop personal relationships with employees in the corporate office and the other Barnes facilities, which made the transition more manageable when I started full-time. There is so much to learn in the HS&E field, and each employee I've met within the Barnes HSE team ‒ either as an intern or while working full-time ‒ has taught me something different."

Thomas Gerding

Q: How do you plan to make an impact during your Internship/Co-Op?

"A: My Health, Safety & Environmental Manager (“HSE”) and I try to utilize an open-door policy where we consistently remind team members that if they have an HSE-related concern or question, they can always swing by and ask us. Personally, I believe my most significant impacts so far have been attempting to reduce our carbon footprint through expanding our recycled waste profiles and working with team members towards reducing workplace hazards to ensure that controls (hierarchy of controls) in place are appropriate."

James McCormick

Q: Can you recall the most important experiences from your internship that helped you prepare for your current role?

"A: My internship experience at Barnes provided me with in-person, hands-on experience while working closely with the shop floor's components and operators. The projects given to interns are very fulfilling because they directly benefit the Company and positively impact our processes. Seeing a project fully executed and learning the steps needed for its success is rewarding. The most important experience from my internship was when I was part of the team that integrated a new Water Jet Stripping machine into the facility with little impact on the part flow. As this project earned a Barnes Team Achievement Award of Distinction, being involved nearly from start to finish helped me understand the facets of the job and its responsibilities for continuous improvement."

Nicole Ledesma

Q: Why did you decide to join Barnes for an internship? What about the company appealed to you?

"A: I loved the idea of being part of a forward-facing, innovative, and global company, and Barnes provided me with that opportunity. What solidified my decision and set this internship apart from the rest was the ability to rotate between the different departments within Total Rewards, giving me a more holistic view of the world of Total Rewards."
