    Re: What do you do for work?

    Ive been working as a heavy equipment operator for the past 11 yrs for VQ. I started working in asphalt when I was 18. We pave state roads here in PA,so next time your held up in traffic and your late for work, you know who to blame. We paved sections of I-81, currently im on rt 30 in Chambersburg and last year I worked on the Pa Turnpike(Ugh, what a nightmare). Cant really complain cause im always at a different location.

    Re: What do you do for work?

    Last year and a half I've been a stay at home Dad and been loving it. Was the Regional Service Manager for a commercial laundry company that provided service and equipment nationally. Did that for 21 years. Been looking to get back to work without much success. Now being trained to sell advertising locally as an independent and looking to own my own laundromat. Going back to work for a large company is very unapealing to me.

    Re: What do you do for work?

    Hi guys.

    I'm a Civil engineer. I basically build big projects such as bridges, roads, buildings, drainage and services etc . . . . .

    My job is to:

    - Study the drawings and specifications
    - Set out the works so everything can be built in the right place and level and also correctly
    - Order materials and engineering equiptment.
    - Keep equiptment and labour time sheets and compile quality and inspection records.

    I've been doing this now for 6 years. Before while a studied (A levels) and during holidays i worked with my brother converting lofts and with a shoppfitting company.

    Im also a trained carpenter and brick layer.

    Jim
