Engineering lab manager for the NA region dishwasher division of Frigidaire/Electrolux.

Used to be an F-15/A-10 avionics and miniature/microminiature electronics technician. I like to say I spent 26 years supporting freedom and democracy keeping multi-million dollar state-of-the-art weapons systems flying and putting hot killing metal on target on time...now I test appliances.

IT Manager at a small electric co-op. One man band, everything from changing print cartridges to engineering our cyber-security defenses. Basically, if it lights up and/or plugs in a wall I am expected to fix it.

Edit: Hence my RCC handle. Chip is my nick name around work.

I am a retired ASE Certified Master Auto Technician with 35 years experience in the industry, got real tired of being micro managed by clueless superiors and was offered a job at a steel mill in NW Indiana at 2.5 times my pay as an Auto Tech. That was the easiest decision I ever made. Now I operate and repair (Millwright) a continuous galvanizing line at the mill and enjoy full benefits and excellent pay. The trade off is the hours are a bit longer but there is more time off. I work 182 days a year and am off 183!

For those not in the business I am a State Environmental Regulator.

Actually, you're the least of my worries showing up unannounced. The Guy I hate seeing unannounced is the OSHA Inspector. Not so bad now since I took over for the previous plant operator, I've made a lot of safety improvements over the years at our plants and towers.

We don't treat our own water, we buy lake water from the City of Chicago, so the only thing we do is draw samples based on our population, and send to the local lab, answer water quality questions from our residents, and maintain the sewage lift stations.

I'm a machinist, most of the time I finish grind to size the rolls used in steel mills to make sheet metal, I'm also training off and on to run CNC lathes that cut these rolls. It's a living, been there 30 years and still got 17 to go ugh!

I'm a pipe fitter installing and servicing fire protection.

I've been doing it for 3 1/2 years and I've been in some fun spots. Anywhere from a 6ft deep trench running 6in pipe to 45 ft up in the air installing pipe. I've been in the ceiling of a Walmart crawling around on conduit and ac ducts, 30 feet up in the attic of a building crawling around on pallet racks in a freezer below 0 walking on ice 20 ft above the ground or on top of boxes of frozen foods. I'm very afraid of heights but I'm perfectly fine on a scissor lift or boom lift. Doesn't make any sense.

Yall got some pretty cool jobs. Wish id gone to collage after school, coulda done alot better. But i love my job. Even at 38 n bein raised around trucks, they still amaze me lol. Workin at the concrete plant is great, its always somthin different. We may pour for the same finishers, but the jobsite is always new, customers are most generally nice. Plus with dump speading n haulin our own materials theres always a chance to stretch your legs for a bit.

Ive tryed the factory work n i just cant take bein inside n doin the same thing all day every day. Although i wouldnt mind bein in a piece of heavy equip for a livin, i was raised around it too. Would be nice to own my own business too. Somethin runnin equipment, have my own truck n haul local, or even a LHS with a track for races n a space for crawlin. But the LHS is gettin scarce now days, unfortunantly.

I'm a construction coordinator for Habitat for Humanity. Carpenter and painter. All they want is 40 hours a week , great insurance and work with a good friend too

[Bubba02STi]

I trick things into thinking they are eating something and then they get really mad at me when they can’t get away. Also a few times a week parents drop their minions off with me so I can yell at them.

I've been in the construction business since the mid 70s. Lately I've been a superintendent building schools.

[HyperMark]

I'm a Precision Sheet Metal Worker.
So I get to do stuff like this for myself at work.
I do all the DXF drawings and programming for our Pega 244, amongst other things.

[Peaker]

I have been on early retirement since i was 50 ( 2.5 years now )


I have worked with a lot of stuff, so lets start with the first full time job.


1: worked at a tool making and operating company, so knew my way around hydraulic and punch press machines before i was old enough ( 18 ) to drive a car.
2: Went thru the education as machine worker ( 3.5 years )
3: worked for 6 month at place of education ( Danish railroads )
4: on to working at the local ship yard ( construction welding, machinery repair )
5: added tool maker education on top ( short as i already knew to work the machines to make cut / forming tools.
6: Went sailing, where i normally was dropped deep into the bowls on the engine room, but i have a okay base knowledge of the other workings of a ship.
I am certified for navigational watch keeping ASO.

Worked on ships for around a decade.
7: added everything in surface treatment, sandblasting / metalizing / painting,,,, i have also worked with electric zinc plating for a few years.
also worked with powder painting for a few years, and car rust protection, though not a part of the surface treatment education.
My last job was manning a grinding machine + a few others + a little painting too, this was the first time i used my machine worked education since 1987.
The ships i have worked as a engineer on a few times, not that i have the engineer education, but i am that good i can do much of the work those lazy mofos do, so guess who was the most sweaty guy in the engine rooms.


First time was on a small coaster in international waters's, second time i engaged a factory ship on Greenland, was there for 2 weeks and was upgraded to engineer as the other guy left, so for the following 4 months or so i was actin engineer responsible of keeping a floating crab factory up and running 24 /7.
O i also have the licensing for going working as a trucker, or transport technician as it is called here now, i am not going to but i could if i wanted to.
And probably a few other things i have forgotten as nothing traumatic happened there ( that's pretty much a guarantee i will never forget anything )
In general i say " been there done that" and i can do everything until the opposite are proven.

I'm totally jealous!!

[QuesoDelDiablo]

I'm a mechanical engineer, current title is design engineer but I'm transitioning into more of a manufacturing engineer role. I work for a composite panel laminating company. Basically, we stick shit together using fancy glues. We work a lot with honeycomb core (primarily polypropylene or aluminum, occasionally cardboard or nomex) as well as foams (mostly EPS) and we use pretty much anything for skins - Aluminum, Steel, Plastic, FRP's etc...

I also do all of the programming for our CNC router (Haas GR712).

We currently (and have for about 20 years now) manufacture all of the sleeper cabs that are mounted on Western Star highway trucks, so some of you might be sleeping in my builds..

It's kinda handy having access to all the fancy adhesives and the CNC router.

I've seen adhesives do some impressive stuff - we recently glued a 5"x5" steel plate to a 3500lb crate to test the pull strength. We lifted that thing up and bounced it around quite a bit but couldn't get that plate to let go..

Anyone else work from home? I travel a few times a year but otherwise it’s always working remotely. Most of the staff is able to work remotely as well, which works out for the longer hours we ask of everyone. 60 hour weeks aren’t as bad when you have your dog around all day.

Ah a consecutive. Yeah thats a pretty easy situation to manage, well other then the answering questions for residents.



So what do you have some distribution pipe to maintain, a couple transfer pumps and some storage tower?

I work for an electronics recycling company. My job mostly consists of identifying things that still have a value, testing/refurbishing them, and reselling them (usually on Ebay). Probably the least routine job I've ever had. Since our incoming material is dependent on what others have decided to throw away, it's never really the same thing twice. We take literally anything that runs off of electricity, so I've had to learn how to operate (at least at a basic level) a huge variety of equipment. Medical equipment is usually the most challenging/interesting. I'm also the company's IT guy by default, which is even more challenging when trying to set everything up with recycled equipment, lol.

Oh, and I also do essentially the same thing from home as a second job, but restricted to laptops/desktop and their components...

[HumboldtEF]

I work at a Cabinet shop, its a family business that my father started and my sister and I are going to be taking over soon, (we've been running the show for a year or so anyway).

I installed the cabinets for about 17 years almost always by my self, though I got help delivering the cabinets.

Now I've been moved into the office where I use CAD to draw up kitchen designs, help customers, and on occasion I still get out in the field for some manual labor which I actually miss. Time just goes so much faster when you're plugging away installing cabinets, the office is a completely different animal with the work load alternating from busy to slow. I do end up spending a whole bunch more time on RCCrawler now though.

I've had to come up with more hobbies and projects to keep my hands busy at home to make up for the change in work, I just miss tinkering.

I've thought about trying other fields but as a small family business I cant just up and leave.
