I don't think a thread was ever made regarding what we all do for a living. Some of us might need some help with something in the future so post up!
I am a Graphic Designer/ Product Engineer for ACME Diecast. www.acmediecast.com (formerly GMP Diecast) we manufacture high end model cars and other collectibles. I am responsible for all product development, design, packaging, photography and website maintenece. I also freelance on the side. Been with this job for almost 9 years.

sounds like a sweet place to work ben, no wonder you got all that computer free time {toast}. I am a master technician or electrical technician however you wanna put it with Kysor/Warren been here about 2 1/2 years. I basically troubleshoot, test, and program all industrial refrigeration systems made by our company. Before this i spent some time as a breacher, search and disposal of ieds, and a EIB trainer for claymore mines.

Man, that was a change in careers! Bet you kinda miss that. Yeah, I am locked at a desk all day and I would much rather be out doing some sort of physical work. It's days like this that I hate my window in my office :P
-
yeah i hear ya im in a factory from dark to dark it seems like. Makes me hate the winter time. At least you got a window. Yeah i miss the army days but it was either reclass or get out and i chose to get out. Ive been doing motor controls and electrical since before i could drive so the current job isnt far from that. I would like to get into engineering but dont really got the time between work and raising a family.

I've been in the aluminum extrusion business for 28 years. Best description is.....a giant Play-doh machine that use's aluminum to make anything you can think of. I work the dies to ensure dimensions and quality. Over the years I've made everything from shower doors, the corner trim for pool tables, Freightliner grilles, bed rails for trucks, hurricane shutters.
For that the last 6 1/2 years I've worked in the Aerospace industry as the Die Repair Supervisor on the world's 2nd largest extrusion press (16,200 ton). It was made in the 1930's by Germany. After the war it was seized and while in transport to the US it sank to the bottom of one of the rivers over there. It was recoverd and made operational in St. Louis by Spectrolite until the company went under. It sat in storage for years until my company bought it and started prodccing in 2005. We currently extrude the parts that the wings are made from for Boeing, Air Bus and other's. We are taking over Alcoa's place in the aerospace field.

I'm a project manager. I work for a company that builds light rail transit systems, such as the MARTA there in GA. We also build people movers that are located in some airports. If you have ever flown into Miami International Airport or Dulles International Airport and took the train to a different terminal then you have ridden on one of my projects. If you have been on a train in Washington D.C., or ST. Louis you have ridden on one of my projects. We actually install the track, substations, communications and the signal systems for these projects. Substations include AC (14.3kv) and DC power (875 Vdc).
Before this I worked for the same company but in a different division. In the beginning I worked for our Power and Industrial division building power houses. Here we were responsible for all if the electrical and mechanical instrumentation.
I left the company once for about 8 months to go to work for a pipe and steel fabrication company. That was probably the best 8 months of my working career.
-
I'm an adult babysitter that makes sure their building our projects like their suppose too.
