Sal\u2019s expertise and dedication make him an essential part of Monroe Ira\u2019s success. As the go-to person for all things Engineering, he handles a wide range of challenges with skill and precision\u2014whether it\u2019s resolving complex design questions, supporting the team with technical insights, or collaborating with vendors and customers to ensure smooth operations. Sal\u2019s ability to juggle multiple demands while providing reliable solutions sets him apart.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/monroeengineering.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/eom-sal-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21187\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nomination<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Hey Sal, where&#8217;s this drawing?<br>Sal, we need to know where this is on the assembly!<br>Can you please draw this so we can manufacture it then send the mark up to the customer?<br>Did those drawings get in the folder?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Being the go to guy for anything Engineering related is a demanding job out here at Monroe Ira; on any given day you&#8217;re fielding questions from the office, shop floor, vendors, and customers on everything we do\u2026 That specific helicoil going in that high precision DoD Part? Got you covered. Redesigning the counterbores so those bolt heads aren&#8217;t interfering with the rest of the assembly? No problem. Bob B is on line 2 and he&#8217;s got questions about this prototype, Sal can you please figure this out with him? Too easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Without Sal, it would be hard for us to function out here at Ira; even some of the other OneMonroe Divisions have made use of Sal&#8217;s skills\u2026 More often than not if there&#8217;s a need to convert a DXF or a STEP into another format, it&#8217;s going to cross Sal&#8217;s desk before we send it back out. On top of that, he&#8217;s the guy tracking where those spare parts went that we made however long ago. Then when we need them, Sal knows which bin on which shelf we need to go to in order to find them. When it&#8217;s time to put the job away, Sal&#8217;s the guy collating all the mark ups and checking off the final engineering so that when we have to do it again that information is all in one place and ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;All that being said, he has a demanding job with a tough crowd yet he gets it done with a smile and constantly positive attitude. That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re nominating Sal for Employee of the Month for OneMonroe.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>~ Sam Sattler<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Get to know Sal!!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Employee name:<\/strong>&nbsp;Sal Taormina<br><strong>Job Title: <\/strong>Cad operator\/Design\/etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where did you grow up?<\/strong>&nbsp;Detroit Mi<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How long have you worked for Monroe?<\/strong>&nbsp;12 years<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What do you like about working for Monroe?<\/strong>&nbsp;Interactions with vendors, customers &amp; fellow employees<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is one thing you love about your job?<\/strong>&nbsp;Utilizing 3D Solidworks<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you could add one thing to your office, what would it be?<\/strong>&nbsp;Coffee maker<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Before Monroe, what was the most unusual or interesting job you have ever had?<\/strong>&nbsp;Working on a farm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Three words to best describe you.<\/strong>&nbsp;Friendly, mild manner, creative<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you had to eat one meal every day for the rest of your life, what would it be?<\/strong>&nbsp;Chicken<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you were an animal, what would you be?<\/strong>&nbsp;Eagle<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do you have a hidden talent?
