Background

About Patrick J. Trela

I excel in bridging the gap between customer needs and engineering solutions. I'm not a salesperson, but the problem solver the sales team brings in when the customer expresses interest. My expertise lies in translating customer requirements into engineering terms, a skill set often referred to as project or application engineering. I prefer to call it 'solution finding.' For me, true solutions are built on three key pillars: Understanding the customer's needs deeply, not just their wants. Mastering product knowledge and specifications to shape engineering requirements. Collaborating effectively with teams, harnessing their potential to craft the best solutions. My approach blends interpersonal skills with technical proficiency, and I'm always eager to learn. I have a proven track record of delivering cost-effective, safe, and reliable solutions for both large organizations and internal manufacturing environments. I bring a mix of mechanical engineering, IT acumen, and regulatory knowledge to every team I join. I'm passionate about finding the right solutions. How can I help you find the solutions you need?
