@Beagleboy

Did you ever work in the basement of the JBB or was that before your time?

Project engineer in offshore wind. Focussed on the concrete part of turbine/sub station installations for wind farms all over the place.
Occasionally we do oil platforms too, but thats few and far between these days. More often decommissioning based than new install on the oil side.

@Poah

Nah, I started working with the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Parasitology in 2004, based in the Anderson college, then we moved to the Sir Graham Davies building a couple of years later. Been there ever since.

When I'm not in the lab, I spend most of my time at my desk in the office, gazing out the window at the front door of Tennents....

Run a specialist Occupational Health and Safety consultancy, I've covered everything from fume incidents forcing passenger jets to emergency land, arsenic contamination in taxidermy from the victorian era, all the usual dust, fume, noise and vibration in manufacturing, through to being a specialist in clinical waste testing and I'm currently lead in a working group writing best practice guidance.

If its niche, in a potentially dangerous environment or a combination of the both, we are usually in the thick of it trying to keep folks safe.

we are also expanding the team so if there are any LFOH qualified occupational hygienists out there drop me a message 🙂

I’m a profesional Teams meeting attendee. At least that’s what its felt like for the last two years.

I’m a (chartered) MEP Engineer, but very rarely do any design myself these days, doesn’t stop me picking holes in and criticising others though 😬

Currently trying to move my way more into the Net Zero side of things in some capacity or other. Handed in a sort of RIBA stage 2 Interim NZPSBS Report the other day... 🙏

I love these threads, so many talented people in here. I'm manager/technical bod for a brazing/heat treatment shop. We help design and braze/treat parts in their thousands every day. Most of them are humdrum automotive, aerospace and industrial parts but we also do satellites, fusion reactors, hadron collider and even Reynolds tubing for bikes. I love my job but most of all I love bringing through young talent, although I'm not sure they are ever as passionate about brazing as I am.

Software Engineer. I haven't read the whole thread, but I thought that would be a lot more common than it seems to be
