Occupations here on Lat G??

Pipefitter, Local 32 out of Seattle. I'm on the service side so I mostly do repairs and improvements on older systems. Working for a company now that's heavy into the controls side, it's fun and stays interesting. We do a lot of goverment projects and black buildings for Boeing. I get paid to see and go to some pretty cool places.

Before this I worked for BNSF, another great job with cool scenery.

Me, I'm a Telecom tech for a contractor inside of Intel. Soon to be a CCNA

Lol, no I am the guy that helps contractors/businesses from getting penalties! I don't write citations but we do require that they make corrections. Free service granted from the Feds is how we operate. Were not all bad! And...I can't share any info with the Feds or anyone else for that matter. I get to work with bad actors and companies looking to improve their existing programs.

Another fellow Railroader, they call us machinists, but in reality we are glorified parts changers/ bandaide appliers. what management wants management gets.

Some interesting jobs posted, thanks for sharing!

I've been a consultant to the major oil companies the last few years, but now I'm one of those salary guys. I work as a Sr Project Manager for a large offshore construction company. Degree in mechanical engineering. Our company owns the ships that are required to build all the subsea oil/gas fields at the bottom of your worldwide oceans. We are working in depths of almost 2 miles nowadays, with specialized equipment. Unmanned robot submarines (ROV's) and huge cranes and winches. I was fortunate enough to get into this field back when 1,500 ft was considered deep, and have stayed at the forefront of this technology. I enjoy the work, because every year it is something different and I work with different customers. I'm typically managing projects in the 30-100 M$ range, so it can be demanding and stressful at times.

Even though I stay busy, I also find time to run a few hobby businesses on the side. I sell forged wheels for cars, do some automotive photography and writing, and run a few car websites.
