Episode 17: Seizing What Sticks with Dakotah Klein of Roto-Versal Compression Services
On this episode of The Gas Compression Podcast, host Michael Haning welcomes Dakotah Klein, Regional Sales & Operations Manager at Roto-Versal Compression Services. Roto-Versal operates out of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and other smaller facilities spread throughout the USA. The backbone of the company's operation, though, is in the Permian Basin.
Dakotah manages the company's mechanical servers and works in sales. His experience in operations, plus 12 years on the drilling side, allows him to communicate value with his customers.
Dakotah talks about the differences between working in the oil and gas industries. Namely, compression provides a lot more stability. He says compression isn't for the lazy folk who want intermittent time off. It's a non-stop workload.
Segueing from the Skilled Trade Series, Michael asks Dakotah how attracting and retaining talent has worked for Roto-Versal. Dakotah shares the strong family values of Roto-Versal, and the fact that people are put first has helped spread the positive word. Roto-Versal hasn’t faced a talent shortage, although he mentions that there's never a time when they're not hiring mechanics.
Dakotah also provides insights into their apprenticeship-style program. Valuable takeaways may be applied to similar, privately held companies.
