Ever been to the coast and seen huge dredgers replenishing the beach? That's what I do for a large Belgium Dredging company, I'm currently building the worlds largest container terminal in Singapore.
It's far from glamorous, I'm a 2nd officer on a 11136 ton ship, I do 12hrs a day, 7 days a week, 6 weeks straight... however I then get 6 weeks off without as much as an email from the company which serves great towards my project!
I'm in a niche field being an Australian, working on a British passport, for a Belgian company, in Singapore, living in the US.
Where can I find pictures of that, i'd like to see it in action? sounds interesting
But if you're interested in the project it's called the Tuas terminal project of Singapore.
It's very interesting how we're making it, very different from typical dredging procedures due to Singapores lack of remaining sand in the waters. either way, keeps me busy, I get lots of time onboard to order neat car parts then plenty of free time to instal them.
I'm an application engineer. I work for a company that sells and supports CAD & CAM Software. My job consists of training engineers on how to use the software and showing them best practice. I also provide tech support, software implementations, and pre sales demos.
It's a great gig and it's awesome getting exposed to a wide variety of industries. it can be demanding at times but the pay is good I enjoy what I do.
I worked in Production Maintenance, for PPG Industries glass division. (now Vitro) Retired a couple years ago, after 42yrs service. My wife retired,last year. Between our firearms, our custom Harley, my 70 Elco, and traveling, I don't quite have the disposable income I used to have so building stuff takes a lot longer, these days. Being an older guy, I don't have to have the "latest & greatest" anymore, either, to be happy. Great to see the younger guys going nuts on their rides, though.
I also owned a sideline business, H&H Custom, for 27yrs, from 1979 to 2006. We built hotrods (musclecars & streetrods), custom bikes of all kinds, and even some aircraft.
I've spent my entire career in the collision industry in various positions. Make a good living, but nothing earth shattering.
How do I build my car and have hot rod funds? I do side work. Made a deal with my wife over 20 years ago, she gets my regular pay check to pay bills etc. The side job money is mine. This allows me to buy parts at will without having to ask permission. But, that's also why it took 8 years to build my car. Do a side job, but parts, do another side job, buy more parts.......
Im a Test Technologist at Polaris Industries in the Powertrain division. I run engine dyno for our 4 stroke engines for calibration and development. Its really interesting watching how different engines respond to tuning and hardware changes along with real time in cylinder pressures and just about anything else you could monitor.
Iv only been out of college for 2 years and built my car while I was in high school and part of college. The plan is to buy a house this year and scheduled to get married in 2020. Not sure how much attention my Nova going to get but my fiance loves the Nova so at least I know its not going anywhere haha. To keep prices down I do all my own work including paint/body, its takes more time but I love learning new and useful skills.
