For Tamires de Freitas Barros, a career at Wellbore Integrity Solutions (WIS) has been built on continuous learning, adaptability, and a willingness to embrace new opportunities.Based in Macaé, Brazil, Tamires joined WIS more than three years ago as an intern and has since built a career spanning technical sales, engineering, and commercial roles.

From the start, she was eager to learn and expand her skills. What began with data analysis and organizational support gradually evolved into opportunities to work more closely with commercial operations, client relationships, and the technical solutions WIS provides.

Looking back, Tamires is proud of the diverse experiences that have shaped her career.Over the years, she progressed from Sales Intern supporting the Latin America team to roles including Commercial Assistant, Engineering Assistant, Junior Engineer, and ultimately Junior Technical Sales Representative. Each step provided a new perspective on the business and helped her develop both technically and professionally.

“I believe my growth is closely tied to my willingness to learn and adapt.”

Today, Tamires works within the Commercial Area, preparing proposals, supporting client interactions, and helping ensure that WIS solutions align with customer needs. She also serves as a focal point for the Centrix™ system, supporting implementation efforts and collaborating with both customers and internal teams. The variety of responsibilities is one of the aspects she enjoys most about her role.

She credits much of her growth to WIS’s commitment to employee development. While the opportunity for professional growth initially attracted her to the company, what has kept her here is seeing that commitment put into practice through new challenges, career opportunities, and support from leaders and colleagues.

The company culture is another reason Tamires values her experience at WIS. She highlights the collaborative environment, continuous learning opportunities, and the encouragement employees receive to explore different career paths within the organization. She believes the company provides genuine support for those who want to expand their skills and gain experience across multiple areas of the business.

“What keeps me here is seeing, in practice, that the company truly invests in people and believes in each employee’s potential to grow.”

Tamires describes her team as highly collaborative and supportive, with colleagues who readily share knowledge and help one another succeed. That culture of teamwork, combined with the opportunity to continually learn and take on new challenges, is what motivates her every day.

When reflecting on her proudest accomplishment, Tamires points not to a single project but to the journey itself. The opportunity to work across data analysis, commercial, and engineering functions has given her a well-rounded understanding of the business and allowed her to contribute in meaningful ways across multiple disciplines.

For anyone considering a career with WIS, her advice is simple:

“Be open to learning and new challenges.”

She believes WIS is a place where employees can grow significantly if they are willing to step outside their comfort zones, embrace new opportunities, and take advantage of the experiences available to them.
