Phillips Tank & Structure

PHI LL I PS TANK & STRUCTURE process. For us, maintaining control is important because we are continuously let down when we leave too much in the hands of suppliers. The logistics of a project is made easier the more we keep control. And we certainly have plans to do some manufacturing ourselves within a couple years.” The difficulty of finding and maintaining a qualified workforce is prevalent in most every industry, but PTS has been very successful, thanks in part to what Phillips calls, “Good karma. One of the things I’ve found to be true in this day and age is that word gets around,” he notes. “I’ve heard from people in the field that strangers call in to our company and say, ‘I’ve heard good things about you. All the postings on Facebook say you are a good place to work.’ From that perspective we have a continuous flow of applicants. There’s still the major process of interviewing, sifting through, and watching very closely as they enter our workforce and seeing that they’re maintaining standards. So, inhouse training and developing the workforce is a major effort.”
