Adam Johnson hired as Technician Recruiting Manager
Adam Johnson has been hired as Technician Recruiting Manager. In this role, Johnson will be dedicated to growing the technician workforce at Road Machinery & Supplies Co. He’ll work to recruit high school and college students who are aspiring to become diesel technicians, guiding them into one of the programs sponsored by RMS or one of RMS’ partner manufacturers.
“There is a severe shortage of workers in construction and heavy equipment industries, especially when it comes to technicians,” said Vice President of Product Support Lance Arnett. “For RMS to excel in meeting the needs of our customers, we must build up our roster of technicians. Adam has the knowledge and passion for the industry to accomplish that. We are very excited to have him on our team.”
Johnson’s background includes 12 years as the Director of Sales and Marketing at Extreme Sandbox, a Minnesota-based enterprise offering construction experiences where customers operate heavy equipment and the opportunity to “play in the dirt.” Extreme Sandbox had an equipment agreement with Komatsu while RMS handled equipment servicing and hosted multiple events at the facility. Johnson worked closely with both RMS and Komatsu to promote the trades to high school students in his role.
“My mission is straightforward — create a pipeline of qualified technicians and develop/retain our current ones,” said Johnson. “RMS has an incredible history of best-in-class service, products and a culture of investing in our team — all packed into a family atmosphere! I plan to use my skills to effectively promote our amazing brand to local communities, schools and organizations to find like-minded individuals who will fit seamlessly into our culture. I also hope to implement talent recruitment and retention processes for generations to come.”
