Matt Buttacavoli | Production Manager

I am responsible for producing all of the drilling rigs manufactured in Garland TX, ensuring that they are safely and efficiently built, meeting our highest quality standards. I have been the Production Manager for the Product Company in Garland, Epiroc Surface Division, since October 2020.

The best part of my job is working closely with my team. We learn from our mistakes and always challenge each other to be the best we can be. I work with a hard-working team that supports and helps develop each other, learns from one another, and keeps the customers first.

 

In 2019, while I was working as the Product Owner for Water Well and energy products, my team was responsible for testing in the field. We trained the customer and provided 24/7 support for 6 months. We lived on the drill site and ensured the rig operated as per design while ensuring high rig availability. The tough conditions brought us closer as a team and helped us to learn so much about each other while successfully supporting the customer. We had a few laughs along the way, which is always good.

I enjoy working in a global company. There are opportunities to work with personnel from all over the world, so getting to know people from different countries with different perspectives has been great. I have especially enjoyed working with our customers globally and helping to solve their business problems. In my previous roles, I have traveled quite a bit. 

I balance work and leisure well by minimizing the work I take home. If I need to come in early or stay late to complete a project or task, I am fine, but I try not to bring this work home. Once home, I focus on my family and recharge to be at my best the next workday.
