WHAT IT TAKES TO RUN A SUCCESSFUL TANK AND TOWER BUSINESS

Some businesses only require a handful of people for sustainable success. Others need the close cooperation of a large, diverse group of professionals, each of whom specializes in his or her respective field. Pittsburg Tank & Tower Group is one of the latter businesses.

Of course, customers and customer relationships are vitally important to ensuring the continued success of any business. A tank and tower company could never last without established client relationships and the support of satisfied customers. However, at the heart of every successful business, no matter how big or small, are its employees.

At Pittsburg Tank & Tower Group, our employees are more than strangers who clock in to get the paycheck—they’re our company’s lifeblood. Our employees’ dedication to delivering exceptional work, day in and day out, keeps us in business. Our company is a big family, and we treat all of our employees as family members.

That’s how we’ve stayed in business for 100 years and counting! All employees know what their work requires, and we all perform our duties with one heart and one mind. The results speak for themselves.

Whether we’re building water tanks or maintaining cell phone towers, we rely on our diverse and experienced team to work closely together on each project, which helps us deliver the highest-quality service to our customers. But who makes up our team? What are their duties? And how can you join the PTTG family? We explore the following questions in this post.

Several positions are essential to the daily operations at Pittsburg Tank & Tower Group. Some of the most essential include:

  • Image

    Tower foreman: The tower foreman relies on a comprehensive knowledge of tower construction and maintenance to oversee field operations, perform quality inspections, and ensure that all crew members work in a safe manner. Tower foremen also liaise with customers and make recommendations as needed, and they’re responsible for keeping accurate records of onsite operations, including time sheets, safety records, and travel expense reports.

  • Image

    Tower climber: Tower climbers must be comfortable working at heights. These workers monitor structural integrity and perform repairs as necessary.

    Fitter/welder: Fitters and welders attach fabricated parts together according to engineering specifications.

    Engineer:Engineers design tanks and towers according to industry standards. They create detailed blueprints that serve as an accurate guide for the construction team. An engineer’s design meets specific customer needs while guaranteeing a safe and stable structure.

  • Image

    Maintenance technician:Maintenance technicians help ensure that the production of tank and tower components goes smoothly. They install, maintain, and repair all production equipment within the facility according to industry standards.
