Safety.  In our business, we take it seriously.  The conditions that our technicians work in are not always the best and never pristine.  To do their job effectively and efficiently requires an awareness of conditions and personal responsibility.  We talk about it constantly, we have meetings about it regularly and everyone is expected to point out situations, equipment or practices which they feel are hazardous or potentially so.

Keeping safety above board and on everyones mind pays off.  Each of our service technicians have been with us for many years, they are our "front line" and the individuals most in harms way - every day.  Their experience and training over those years is an investment in them and in our company.  Keeping our people healthy and productive is second to nothing - they are our most valuable asset, our co-workers and our friends.  Some may feel that luck plays a part, but we prefer to use a professional approach.  In 2012, we succeeded once again - everybody safe, no accidents, no lost time. 

     

Our Service Department is looking for the right technician to hire.

HELP WANTED: Crane Repair Tech

FAX or email resume to Jim Hopkinson at 708-447-3730 jthopkinson@runnionequipment.com or apply in person at:

Runnion Equipment Company, 7950 West 47th Street. Lyons, Illinois 60534

As the equipment soldl and serviced by Runnion Equipment Company becomes more sophisticated, our needs for the right technician have changed as well.  Hint:  We used to call them "mechanics".  Now, mechanical ability is only the basic knowledge required.  Among the changes: Familiarity with computers and file management as well as an ability to troubleshoot error codes and trace electrical connections through traditional wiring harnesses as well as circuit boards is a necessity.  The new hydraulics require the basic knowledge of pressure and flow as well as a familiarity with piping materials and the chemical properties of various hydraulic fluids.       

If you think you have what it takes, contact Jim Hopkinson our Product Support Manager.
