Meet A Woman of Asphalt: Triple A Milling’s Amanda Harrington
Promote from within! After an early career driving trucks, this woman of asphalt seized the opportunity to run heavy equipment. Since 2021, Amanda Harrington has worked as a float driver, skid steer operator and milling machine operator for Triple A Milling, headquartered in Concord, Ontario. She joined the construction industry in 2019 after a decade driving trucks, so her skills translated perfectly into the role of transporting machines from site to site. But Harrington had her eye on doing more and increasing her responsibilities. In 2023, when Triple A was short on operators—as most contractors can sympathize with—Owner Andrew Alfano gave her the opportunity to try her hand at learning to operate the mill. She enjoyed that and jumped at the chance to learn new skills. Triple A has five sizes of cold planers from the Wirtgen Group and Harrington has a comfort level with the W 150 mid-size machine specifically. She recently took some time to share her story and encourage others as a woman of asphalt.
