So what's your job?

Im a training officer at a manufacturing firm that specialise in Copper based alloys. We make raw material thats then processed into bearing houses, landing gear components, go into submarines, defence etc etc...

Also have a qualification to teach in house overhead gantry cranes and FLT's so do a bit of that for new employees also.
 
How long have you got left studying to become a primary school teacher? :smiley:



Reminds me of that saying ... when everything is working fine = "what do we pay you for?!" When everything is broken = "what do we pay you for?!" :tearsofjoy:

You should know full well that you can never win in the world of IT! **have you tried turning it off and on again??**

Blimey, sounds complicated!!
 
Its not really...

We only make the raw product form, this is then shipped to stockists who sell it to places like roles royce for example (or machining companies) who will make it into final product.

Ahhhh I get you, thought you meant your company made all the different parts.

Been in the job long? Enjoy it? :smile:
 
I work for Royal Mail, primarily as a postman. I'm a workplace coach, mentoring and training, and also fleet manager for the vans at our delivery office.

So what your saying is we can all blame you when our damn post is late? :wink:

Well there is some semi-final product going out the door, there is CNC's on site but I don't use them.

4 years now, and no not really lol, albeit theres some elements I like.
 
Foreman at an extremely busy and successful general Engineers.

We get involved in some offshore projects, waste management companies, quarries, printers, plastic bottle factories, a bio plant etc etc etc. Alot of health and safety stuff in this modern day and age of course from barriers, protection rails / posts etc, machine guarding, gantries, walkways, access platforms and so on.

We also have a busy machine shop, and take jobs off the street. basically we are a really glorified odd-job shop that does anything and everything that pays the bills. And we work in mild, stainless, aluminium, brass, titanium. Anything metal basically !

We like to do everything in-house. So if we get presented with a problem we go to assess it, come up with a solution, manufacture the product / parts, paint / finish them and install them. For the "site services" / head of Engineering guys we work for at these large companies our aim is to make their lives easy. They make one phone call. We sort the problem from start to finish.

I've been there 12 years and every day is as manic as the last. If you wanna work mornings, evenings, afternoons and weekends; come join us :smile:

I'm a mechanical engineer/machinist working for a company who supply tooling/flying parts to the likes of airbus.

I previously did design work for rolls Royce which was interesting. I'd like to get back into that at some point.

I can drive fork lift trucks and operate overhead cranes, do some chemical treatments and work a variety of machines, as well as bandage you up properly if you have a boo boo... I got my fingers into many pots in my first place of work lol.
