Trent, a graduate of Duquesne University, has worked at AMETEK since 2019. He is a graduate of AMETEK’s Financial Management Program (FMP), a three-year rotational experience that gave him exposure and insight into numerous areas of AMETEK.

How did your career begin with AMETEK?

AMETEK was on campus for recruiting events and I ended up speaking to their team. I was interested in the organization’s decentralized structure, how the businesses worked, and how it grew through acquisitions. Next thing I knew, I was accepting the position.

What was your experience of the FMP?

Through AMETEK’s FMP, I learned about various parts of the businesses, like operations, driving results, and helping report those results. Within the finance function, you go beyond just the accounting. I started at Energy and Process Instrumentations. In my second year, I moved to a different area of the organization before concluding as an auditor at the corporate headquarters in Berwyn, Pennsylvania.

We had learning sessions with the corporate leadership team, so I was able to get valuable exposure to senior management. It’s a very worthwhile program, and a fantastic way to jumpstart your career.
