Our organization was established in 1982 and is privately held with 30 employees and $7M in revenue. We have a driving philosophy to put problem-solving and customer service first. Catalytic heaters, which are currently our company’s single product line, go hand-in-hand with that philosophy; they are a simple, straightforward solutions to common problems in the natural gas industry.

Core Values

EXTREME OWNERSHIP

• You must take responsibility for your choices, actions, work, and results.

• The gopher simply does what they are told. The blamer is always a victim of their circumstances. Neither are welcome at our organization.

• We're proactive. We take the initiative. Whatever the challenge, we have the agency to act. “If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse.” (Jim Rohn)

• The Plant Controller should: Instill self-determinism in the team. We are where we are because of our choices.

• The Plant Controller should not: Tolerate attitudes of victimhood and blame.

DO IT RIGHT

• Settle for nothing less than the standard. If you don't know the standard, see the above (extreme ownership) and take responsibility for knowing the standard.

• Right does not mean perfect. Perfectionism is an excuse for inaction.

• We set standards and uphold them. We like systems and process. We believe discipline equals freedom. "We don't rise to the level of our goals. We fall to the level of our systems." (James Clear)

• The Plant Controller should: Help us establish clear standards, systems, and processes. "Doing it right" for us means using the EOS tools.

• The Plant Controller should not: Tolerate winging it, allow people to be wishy-washy, or make exceptions to established rules.

INTENTIONALLY ACHIEVE GOALS

• Set a target. Have a plan to get there. Execute.

• “First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.” (Epictetus) We begin with the end in mind. We get better on purpose. We set goals, make a plan, and execute.

• The Plant Controller should: Help us create plans, establish milestones, prioritize objectives, and keep focused. Talk in terms of numbers and measurables.

• The Plant Controller should not: Establish targets that are wishy-washy or subjective.

ENJOY THE RIDE

• We value gratitude. When we choose to appreciate the people and capabilities around us, our possibilities are bigger, and our progress is faster. What we've chosen to do is difficult, but that's why we love it. "Happiness is a choice, not a result." (Ralph Marston)

• The Plant Controller should: Have a positive attitude even when things inevitably go sideways, reinforce that growing a business and the stretching that comes with it is fun

• The Plant Controller should not: Hide from the truth, be a Pollyanna, or be obnoxious.
