“I like that I'm learning new skills and that I'm given encouragement to not only learn the new skills but to also incorporate what I've learned from other organizations. I really like the organization and the people I've met. I really believe this company wants its employees to succeed. This is a great organization and I would recommend people to work here.”

“Currently I have the position of Lead Technician in REP, I am also a Union Shop Stuart for REP, Bensalem. I am involved in various troubleshooting and repairs. I also participate in the day to day production in the shop to ensure jobs are performed correctly. I like being involved with office and shop personnel, and also having the opportunity to create a good repoir with the customer. The daily interactions between such a diverse groups of people make everyday interesting. I'm a veteran with this company because of the ability to advance and challenge yourself with new technology and networking everyday. I have been able to expand my experience in my field through the hands on training that is offered in this company. If all political nonsense was put behind the actual importance of creating a loyal and satisfied customer, it would be a more satisfying career. When coming into a profession like this, it is important that there is a good balance in training through classes and also hands on. To truly gain the experience and knowledge needed to be successful you must be willing to get dirty and start with the basics to work your way up.”
John Dea, Master Technician

“I manage Product Support (service and parts sales and execution) for Ransome Engine. The organization consists of about 125 employees, 80 of them technicians. The remaining 45 are management, parts and warehouse personnel. In 2006, the department generated $30 million in sales and is expected to grow 10% per year for the foreseeable future. I ensure that the entire team stays focused on safety, quality, meeting our promises to customers and improving profitability. I enjoy working with the great people in the department and around the company, truly top notch people. I am excited about the dramatic improvements the team has been making in safety, quality, meeting promises to customers and improving profitability. I like the mix of people, business and technical issues that all must be dealt with as a department manager. I also enjoy the opportunity and flexibility to bring a fresh perspective to the business. I like the mix of family owned business with the business size and complexity of many publicly held companies. Employees seem to take pride in getting to know one another and in helping one another to be successful. The growth opportunities here are very exciting. This is a great place to work regardless of career maturity. There is just as much opportunity, fun and excitement for a person late stage in their career as there is for someone just out of school. There is a certain excitement about the products and businesses we support as customers. You can get big business experience here without being challenged to move around the country and or the world. However, you get to meet and work with people at Caterpillar and from other dealerships who do work throughout the world in many different cultures.”
Todd Moore, Vice President of Product Support

Ransome’s employees are empowered to be creative thinkers and voice their opinion and we have objective management. Ransome is committed to their people it is a good working environment and skill training is available.”
Barbara Anderson, Office Manager
“I work as a Service Planner for the construction division. My job involves building quotes for repairs, scheduling and planning work through the service department and acting as the communication liaison between the service line management and the customer. Interacting with customers to help them achieve their goals while helping Ransome achieve its goals. I feel that throughout Ransome there are great people to work with and learn from while also having fun doing their job. It's one of the best kept secrets in the Tri State area. The business is unique and ever-changing, and for those that have a passion for earth moving equipment there is perhaps no better place than a Caterpillar equipment dealership.”
Kevin Sauler, Service Manager
