Building Freeport Skilled Trades Pipeline, One Intern at a Time mboyle Wed, 09/02/2026 - 09:39 Post Image September 2, 2026 - When Paul Pedrego flipped open an eyewash cover in the company’s Chino mill in New Mexico, he found water but no pressure. He didn’t hesitate. He stopped the work. Pedrego, a Process Automation intern, and his mentor and co-worker, Jose Pacheco, Instrumentation and Control System Electrician, had eight transmitters to calibrate near a bank of reagent flow meters. But as they filled out their job risk assessment, that faulty eyewash station changed the plan. “We both felt it wasn’t safe to continue, so we stopped,” Pedrego said. “This internship taught me a safety culture that’s distinctly Freeport, being your brother’s keeper. It’s not a rule we follow; it’s a responsibility we carry.” Pedrego’s emphasis on safety, and his work the entire summer, didn’t go unnoticed. “I was really glad to have the opportunity to work with Paul,” Pacheco said. “He brings a great
