Which Industry are you in?

[TheJester]

Mostly Embassies for me.

[mexfishguide]

My self

I do work in poll #1,2,&4. No more nuke work or me they have really become screwed up in the last few years.

I can work on any and go between for the money, embassy work is fine and a lot simplier then industrial installations. I do not mean to be derogatory to anyone. :banhim

Running pipe a lot of it PVC, in the slab, and rgc in hard walls is not quite like running exposed RGC pipe 400 ft. down the ceilling of a roll mill, Plus if concentric bends :wtf are required, not every one can do that.

I think the work is really about equal, if you have some one sent on the project that is not a true :AR15 !journeyman! they should be relieved.

Been there, done that, and had to teach it to a lot of people. If you cannot teach it, you should not be doing it. You should consider yourself fortunate to learn something new everyday. Still looking for something to learn, from anyone...

[drifter]

All I've done is embassies.

[Gabriele]

Telecom, for 36 years. Damn the time sure has flown. Worked for a major telecomm for 28 years before "retiring" then onto new adventures.

First overseas job was at a military installation in the Marshall Islands, then an embassy project in Cambodia.

I've done the wiring, the system installations, maintainance, etc. Certified on several manufactuers and now certified ACA and CompTIA/CTP.

I laugh when several installation companies that do work in the embassy's, when they say I'm not "qualified" on the systems they install, hell there isn't a whole lot of difference in any of them.

I seem to be the Only non electrician in this bunch!!
Civil is my Game......
But this is the beginning of my 11th year outside of the US in my 10th country.
I have worked on 3 NOB / NEC jobs, 3 upgrades,1 Other Guys Job, A GAS Turbine Plant for GE, A hospital for the Air Force, and an Army- Navy Hangar Barracks, and office building job--I would prefer to get out of Embassys and do another Power plant, Bridge or Mine, something away from the BS that is involved in these jobs-- where you can go out with a bag of money and buy train cars of lumber and cement ... and only have to worry about some a---hole bopping ya on the head instead of OBO security rules!!

[alky]

Damn, you is good!
But don't put all the blame on the OBO folks and their safety/security inspections. Working outside the Embassies is no bed of roses when you have the COE breathing down your neck and looking to write you up for any infraction from their "blue book".
Good luck with your boxcar loads of lumber and cement, just remember that s0meone has to throw the switch before you can cut or mix-----------

Yes, I think they must be very brave. I never see Cincinnati people leaving. Including myself :banghead
Cleveland is a good union town. We (Cincinnati) only get visits from Bush.

Just got an email from an coworker at Kwaj, says they are looking to cut back to fewer then 100 workers out there, moving positions to Huntsville :wtf

[plumberBlake]

I'd love to be a fly on the wall when those layoffs start.

Hello everyone, I am new to the site. Looks like I may have found a winner.

I have worked for KBR/Halliburton on logcap jobs most of my overseas years, but I just got off of an embassy job and I liked it. The 60 hr work week and the day off made it seem like you had a life.

I don't have all the contacts that a lot of you have but I think this site will catch me up. Thanks for being here.
