Concepts NREC is headquartered in White River Junction, VT, which was named one of the 10 "coolest" towns in the U.S. by Budget Travel. The area is known as the Upper Valley Region which stretches along each side of the Connecticut River in central New Hampshire and Vermont. The Upper Valley is approximately two hours from Boston, four and a half hours from New York City, and three hours from Montreal.
People who live in the Upper Valley area of New Hampshire and Vermont consider themselves to be very lucky. The region has everything you’d ever want: lots of four-season outdoor activities, top-notch health care, great schools, a wide variety of shopping options, eclectic food scene, clean air, no traffic, affordable housing, and last but not least, friendly people.
Life is a little slower, the trees are a little greener, the maple syrup is a little sweeter, beer is brewed in micro batches, and there really is such a thing as work/life balance. Come find out why the United Health Foundation has ranked Vermont among the Top Four healthiest states in the United States since 2003, often taking turns for first place with Hawaii.
Concepts NREC maintains a robust in-house research and development program. We hold over 70 patents worldwide, with numerous patents pending. We push past what has been done to explore what can be done.
Concepts NREC is ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100:2016 certified and committed to providing our customers with products and services that meet international quality standards. Concepts NREC is also the leader of the global Advanced Centrifugal Pump and Compressor Consortium for Diffuser and Volute Design, an internationally sponsored research venture dedicated to advancing diffuser and volute design.
At Concepts NREC, we have the vision to create great designs, and a hard-earned reputation for delivering them.
Concepts NREC is pleased to provide a highly competitive and progressive benefits program for all full-time employees. We believe in the value of a strong benefits package for all staff members and strive to provide a program of benefits which will attract and retain the best individuals available, both nationally and regionally. Concepts NREC is an EOE (equal opportunity employer) and fully supportive of hiring veterans.
Concepts NREC’s manufacturing capabilities extend far beyond simply cutting metal. Our highly skilled machinists are backed by experienced design engineers with diverse technical backgrounds and software engineers who have produced industry-leading CAE and CAM programs. This broad expertise enables us to suggest more efficient manufacturing methods, materials, processes, and designs that meet customer needs while lowering their production costs.
Concepts NREC operates a state-of-the-art product center capable of producing the highest-quality, precision-machined turbomachinery components and assemblies. Drawing on extensive experience and expertise with materials, industries, and technologies, Concepts NREC succeeds at complex component challenges that typically have been problematic for others.
This knowledge is supported by the latest manufacturing technologies that, combined, provide Concepts NREC with the credentials to meet the most exacting customer requirements across many industries including aerospace, energy, and industrial processing.
The process of designing and manufacturing turbomachinery is extremely complex. Concepts NREC partners with other world-class software providers whose offerings complement our Agile Engineering Design System®. Click on their names to explore all they have to offer.
Vacation accrual starts from the first day of employment. After one year, a new full-time employee has accrued, and is eligible for, two weeks of vacation per year. After five years, employees are eligible for three weeks per year. After 15 years, employees are eligible for four weeks per year. With supervisory approval a new employee may take vacation as soon as it is accrued. No more than one full year's worth of accrued vacation time (two, three or four weeks) may be carried over from one year to the next without special advance approval. A Vacation Buy Plan is available during Open Enrollment every year to acquire additional vacation time above normal earned time.
There is no set number (limitation) of sick days on an annual basis. Concepts NREC's policy is to encourage employees who are sick to absent themselves from work until they are better. However, any employee who accumulates 32 hours of undocumented sick time in a calendar year must provide evidence (documentation) for additional sick time over and above the 32 hours, in order to be paid for the time absent from work. This company policy encourages employees to be responsible about illnesses, including timely treatments, without restricting the availability of sick time. Illnesses of an extended nature are covered under the company's short-term and long- term disability coverage.
Comprehensive health insurance, through MVP, is available to employees and their dependents under a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) system of in-network, and out-of-network, providers. Single, two-person and family levels of coverage are available. The health and dental insurance administrator is Partners Benefits Group and Delta Dental respectively. Life insurance equal to one times annual salary (minimum $50,000 coverage) and Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance are provided at the company's expense. And additional voluntary term life insurance can be purchased through Sun Life as well as universal life coverage, cancer, disability, and accident insurance through Colonial Life.
Concepts NREC makes available to employees a plan whereby the employee can set aside (via payroll deduction) pre-tax money which can then be used to reimburse the employee for payments for uncovered medical expenses, such as deductibles, co-payments and dental or eye care expenses, or dependent care expenses. A maximum of $2,500 can be set aside for medical cost reimbursement, and proof of payment is required for reimbursement. There is a six-month waiting period for new employees before they can enroll into the medical portion of the plan. The plan may also be used for dependent care expenses with a maximum of $5,000/year set aside for this purpose. There is no waiting period for the dependent care portion of the FSA.
If an employee is out for an extended illness (not job related), such as pneumonia, heart attack, etc., the employee will receive partial compensation for a period of up to 180 days. The employee would first be required use his/her accrued vacation. After that time, the company will pay the employee at the rate of 66 2/3% of the employee's base salary. STD premiums are fully company paid.
For over 60 years, we have helped leading global OEMs to improve the performance and manufacturability of their turbomachines.
This is a video of Concepts NREC's optional 3+2 Roughing Module that enables roughing out of impellers using 3-axis algorithms, keeping a constant tool vector. This strategy optimizes the toolpath to provide constant cutting load, making it suitable for high speed machining. This is extremely helpful for large (>0.5 m) diameter impellers and/or hard materials where roughing using the 5-axis strategies is less efficient.
