Strong Work Ethic, Investment in Milling Machine Keep Posen Construction Successful - Page 7 Print E-mail

The excellence of Posen's staff is reflected in the all-female crew - including a 21-year-old chief operator - that operates the BM 2000/60.

BOMAG Milling MachineThough it is unusual for an all-woman crew to run such a large piece of equipment, Schook says it is the perfect arrangement.  "My philosophy is to pick the best person for the job," he said, adding that women are often chosen to run Posen's most expensive and complex machines.  "They pay attention and they're conscious of what they're doing.  They take pride in the machine and keep it spotless."


Making the job of maintenance easier for the operating crew is the BM 2000/60's quick-change cutting teeth and holders.  The crew also relies on the onboard computer system, complete with graphic LCD readout, to monitor and control the machine's functions.  The computer informs the operator of the machine's working condition and allows her to check the status of scheduled maintenance requirements with the push of a button.

The Posen philosophy of staying diversified and keeping a strong work ethic - as well as using versatile equipment like the BOMAG BM 2000/60 - has paid off so far, and Schook sees no reason it won't continue.  "We still have a backlog of $100 million worth of work ahead of us," he said.  "The future is looking bright."
