Fortive is a collection of industrial technology companies whose engineers, scientists and problem-solvers work across three main technical domains: industrial safety, healthcare sterilization and predictive maintenance. The group employs 10,000 people and runs operations in 50 countries, with its headquarters in Everett, Washington. Its portfolio is organised around the Fortive Business System, a common operating framework used to drive continuous improvement and accelerate the impact of the technologies its companies build.
Technical work is directed at essential, mission-critical applications: making industrial environments safer, sterilising healthcare equipment, and anticipating equipment failures before they occur. That last domain - predictive maintenance - sits at the intersection of instrumentation, data and industrial operations, and is one of the more technically demanding areas of the group's portfolio.
Fortive describes a culture built on continuous improvement across borders and time zones, with an emphasis on honesty about what is and is not working, a growth mindset and individual ownership. The company states a belief in the collective strength of diverse teams and in the potential of individuals to learn, develop and make a difference within a global workforce spanning 50 countries.
