Sunday story time: At my last company we had a lot of oil and natural gas customers, they always kept me busy and it wouldn’t be uncommon to get emergency calls at 2am that the crane was stuck over a well head. Usually it was simple enough issues I could walk the operator through over the phone to at least limp the crane through the night until the morning when I could get there. The first thing I would always do would be to have the customer tell me pump pressures on the display. If it was all 0s I knew I’d be in for a long night/day. This was one of those calls, I got home from my 12hr shift at 6pm, by 6:30 I was on the road to Pampa, TX 6hrs away. After arriving closer to 1:30am with fuel stops I finally began the daunting task of replacing the PTO/pump on a 50ton manitex stuck over a well head. With a bunch of setbacks and finally lining everything out I had the crane back up and running by 7:45am. I drove to a hotel to sleep for just a couple hours than drove the 6hrs home and started all over again. This was one of the days/nights that made me question why I chose this career path, why I willing choose to put myself through these brutal calls. The simple answer, crane field service takes a different breed of technician. The feeling of satisfaction of taking something that most other techs would turn away and making it work again is worth it all. You truly feel on top of the world when you’re the “hero” who got it up and running. From completing this job stemmed a bunch of internal awards for job dedication, skill level etc and helped shape my career path in field service.

"We all know and understand how difficult it is to find people to work in our industry. Recent hiring numbers show that available diesel technician positions have grown over 26% from pre-pandemic baselines. However, the bucket of qualified diesel technicians continues to shrink fast from retirements and job changes, while the growth of the industry is rising. This makes the search for new talent for our dealership and leasing operations hard on everyone. The bottom line is that recruiting a qualified diesel technician is extremely difficult right now." That's why our in-house recruiter, Pete, decided to tackle this subject in a recent blog article!

You win in the draft. Too often, companies are looking for great service technicians to fill current roles and needs. Unfortunately, the boiler industry doesn't have a surplus of great service technicians ready to come to work. That is where hiring on potential comes in. Companies need to hire as many people as they can who they think "could" be great service technicians and see how it works out. Professional sports teams get it wrong every single year on people's potential, and yet they are willing to continuously draft new people to build a great team in a couple of years. It doesn't happen overnight, and overpaying superstars rarely leads to championships. Not every person a company hires has the potential to be a "A" level service technician. And that is okay. Companies go through seasons of growth, and they may need some role players who fill a specific role but will not be at the company long term. Boilers run 24/7 and there is no offseason for companies to regroup and train talent. But if companies continually have fresh people coming into the organization who are properly supported, they will find in a couple of years the "A" service technicians they were looking for on day one. Not everyone will stick around for those couple of years of development. And that's ok. But don't allow the fear of people leaving the company to keep you from investing in them. #boilers #steam #training

Navigating the Unexpected: A Glimpse into the Life of a Service Technician Recently, I tackled a seemingly simple task – replacing blowers for a valued out-of-state customer. This experience highlighted the adaptability and quick thinking that define a service technician's role. Upon arrival, things got tricky. The new blowers had different wiring, derailing my plans. With time ticking, I tinkered with connections, finding a seamless solution to integrate the fans flawlessly. And the surprises kept coming. The blowers were slightly different in size, adding to the challenge. Determined, I improvised to ensure a perfect fit. This reminded me why I'm passionate about being a service technician. It's more than technical skills; it's about adapting, innovating, and conquering unexpected hurdles. Every task is a puzzle with a solution waiting. Being a service technician is a journey that tests your limits and rewards your problem-solving abilities. It's a passport to uncharted places, expanding your horizons. From troubleshooting to growth, every day brings learning and contribution. Here's to the next challenge, twist, and opportunity to showcase the spirit of a service technician. 🛠️🌟 #ServiceTechnician #AdaptAndOvercome #ProblemSolver #HandsOn
