So, what do you do? What's your job or business and where do you do it?

[vRSRobT]

[brad1.8T]

I do maintenance scheduling & planning and contractor liaison on large water assets.  My current title is Maintenance Officer.  My employer wants to reduce my pay & give me the new title of Reliability Engineer.  Personally i'd rather sound like the guy that sweeps the floors & keep the money

[LGM]

Well I'm still a Valve Technician working in the workshop, on-site, abroad and anywhere else I can go. Currently working on Rugeley power station on a huge shutdown, previous was Ratcliffe power station and that outage was for 8 weeks. Been to Bahrain twice in 2011 for a month each time helping a company out. Each day is a different one, very rarely you get the same thing the day after.

Auric,

They have pale blue ships & are the biggest container company in the world. If that doesn't help, the company is Danish, they are also involved in oil exploration, & have some tankers. For anyone still not sure, you're out of time, the company is Maersk Line. :clap:

"Emma, Edith or Mc-Kinney Moller

 

I assume Tom Hanks no longer Captains your ships :giggle:"

 

None of the above, & not particularly interested in going on the E's or Triple E's. Last 2 years on Stepnica, next trip on L Class.

Tom Hanks only does US ships, lol. I've not watched the film, but at least Hollywood didn't change the nationality for a change.

Promotion since last one, Compliance Administration Manager- has made me realise that I am definately not enjoying office work so currently on the hunt for a new job working back at a site!

[ColinD]

Systems software developer since '97, formerly on IBM mid range s38/400/iSeries, but the last 12-15years on web based stuff.

 

Last 3 years working for myself trying to find the next small big thing.

 

Toying with part time outdoor instruction/IRATA/stone mason something practical based, outdoors that makes someone smile, hopefully me too.

 

So while the small big thing eludes me, I'm currently working with small companies and individuals as web/software builder.
