What do you do for work?

Late 90's I was rolling through the hospitals across SoCal... their biomed labs, calibrating EKG machines, oscilloscopes, weights, scales, ground fault detectors, etc... had a huge contract with Kaiser and a lot of SoCal hospitals. I've worked in a lot of environments over the years ...a facility where we performed uniformity surveys on >20 ovens at 800-2100F for heat treating, dirty and nasty and was pretty terrible but nowhere close to as nasty as those hospitals, lol...

I can agree with you there! I can say that i have a good idea of the facilities i would visit if needed and which ones i would avoid if possible! I see every mechanical room, patient room, icu, emergency rooms, operating rooms, cath labs, endoscopy rooms. Any place there is medical gas piped.

Currently wrapping up a saturday OT job in santa clarita. Off hours duplex vacuum pump control panel upgrade.

I am a superintendent for a commercial general contractor based out of Colorado with several districts across the US. I have been with the company's SoCal district for almost 9yrs and have been apart of project management teams managing projects ranging between $80m to $1.5B for customers such as LAWA (LAX), DGS (State of California), UC system (UCR, UCSD, UCI, USC and UCLA) and SDSU. We also work with NAVFAC, Caltech, LAUSD, Kaiser, City of Hope and Rady's out here in SoCal. Currently am working on a Life Sciences building for SDSU. We also self-perform concrete formwork, placement and finishing for structural concrete and flat work. Largest concrete placement I helped support to date was a 2000 CY mat slab.

Prior to that I was a laborer then groundman with Local 47 installing underground high voltage infrastructure for an SCE contractor.
 
My 9-5 is working for a highway electrical contractor in Mesa, AZ. We build traffic signals and street lights. I'm responsible for all of the technology that goes into these systems including fiber optics, CCTV cameras, vehicle detection technologies and communication networks.

I've also recently started a small business doing wifi installations and upgrades for people who live in remote/rural locations and need to get wifi to their out-buildings or shops. I can also do these types of installations in RVs so you can share a single Starlink connection with your entire camp!
 
I have been in the Service Provider industry for Industrial and Commercial operations in the West for 25+ Years. Worked at Johnson Controls, York, Siemens. I now work for the large "Jungle" company running Facilities for our Retail Grocery stores across the US. I am starting a new company now providing Commercial and Residential service in the local River Cities, From Bullhead down to Havasu. If my day job eliminates virtual workers then I have plan B.

I work for a manufacturing company that's flagship stuff is airfield maintenance. Real fancy "pressure washers" that take the paint and rubber off the runway. Pressure washers that make upwards of 40Kpsi.. Our smaller stuff does parking garages, gas stations, side walks, etc.. Our company also does contract work using the smaller stuff to do race track prep. We prep all the surfaces in the U.S. for Formula 1. Fuel and electric.

Most people around here know me for my previous life working with Honda.
