Highly organized鈥攊t鈥檚 a skill that many of us claim as we are always in search of ways to become more efficient, both at our jobs and in our personal lives. However, for James Davis, Service Technician in our Portland branch, organization is the most important trait he credits for his success over the past 11 years with 尖叫视频.
鈥淚 sometimes refer to my job as painting the Golden Gate bridge, once you finish it鈥檚 already time to revisit certain areas,鈥� said Davis. 鈥淚t keeps my job exciting and staying organized is key.鈥�
Davis has become the face of 尖叫视频 for his area, which covers a 4-hour stretch from northern California to southern Oregon. Covering an area like this demands organization鈥攁nd for Davis, it all starts with his van.
鈥淚鈥檓 also a carpenter so I decided to build wooden racks to create extra space within my van,鈥� said Davis. 鈥淓ach night when I get home, I put things back in their designated space and make sure I鈥檓 stocked and ready to start the next day.鈥�
Several years ago, a train derailed on Davis鈥� property. As the crews showed up to clear the wreckage, they asked if he would like to keep any of the box cars. Davis decided to keep a few on his property and continues to use them for extra storage of supplies and equipment.
While staying organized is Davis鈥� biggest piece of advice for other Service Technicians, his favorite part of working at 尖叫视频 is the people.
鈥淔rom our Branch Manager to our entire team, it鈥檚 just an exceptional group of people to work with,鈥� said Davis. 鈥淓ven though I don鈥檛 see them often in person, we are constantly supporting each other and feel that our company is always striving to be the best it can be.鈥�
Portland Branch Manager, James Clark, says, 鈥淲hile James works closely with other associates when possible, he has been a Technician, Collector and Installer all on the same day. He makes it a point to know his customers personally and has great judgement in knowing which clients need extra attention. We are lucky to have such a caring, creative and resourceful teammate taking care of southern Oregon.鈥�
