@ Spooky, got so bad with my new “manager” doubting my technical abilities (testing batteries for **** sake) that the van with 100K’s worth of test gear nearly ended up in Sovereign Harbour with the words F..K Y.U scratched into the body work.

Technical Manager for a Large European Health safety and Environmental Consultancy. I specialise in the really freaky dangerous bits that normal HSE geeks run away screaming from (usually involving bits of bodies, exploding things and very toxic substances, If I’m lucky I get all 3 in one project)

I design things on my computer, get them made, put them together (sometimes they even work).
Also known to write some software to make the bits move in the right order.

If I’m really lucky I get to install them at the customers.

I am really enjoying this; what a great eclectic mix of jobs!

Makes me also feel super unfulfilled work-wise!

I mostly help Oil & Gas and Mining companies to understand what they should avoid trashing for the biodiversity assessment arm of an “intergovernmental agency”.

I’m a Project Manager for a company that designs, builds and maintains Air Conditioning, Refrigeration and Process Cooling equipment for Navy Ships and Submarines all round the world, however our biggest market is with the UK Navy.

My current job role involves making sure all our kit on these does what it is supposed to do…

The official Secrets Act prevents me from telling you much else, other than modern combat vessels are pretty awesome!

D’you think post it notes sell themselves? 😉

A civil engineer who helps design, procure and supervise construction of shipyards and container ports. More targets I guess . .. .

Work in embedding silicon die technology in power systems , which is nice…

I engage in human experimentation

I work for a large college in one of the nice parts of the garden of England. I’m in charge of health & safety, security, first aid/welfare and safeguarding. It is far too much for me to do on my own and I’m lucky to have a large team of top folks who make me look good at my job. Actually it’s all about them.

Account manager at an IT storage/security/virtualisation distributor. Chances are all you IT bods have bought something from someone who bought that thing from me or one of my colleagues!

A bit like djaustin,I like experiments .
I gather data from STW ,I then use some of the more interesting internet character profiles on herds of mice .
The mice are confined to a small village that I built,but they do have some trips out to an exercise yard.
They seem to argue a lot,mostly about the choice of equipment that is available in the yard or why their deluxe cheese is taking so long to be delivered. Sadly,there has been a few fights over missing cheese portions ,but I am almost finished a new super profile that should fix things. I love science 8)

Self employed Chippy……not the deep fat fried type 😆

Staff geoscientist for a major oil and gas company helping work out fluids and gases 50% and spend the rest of my time doing R&D type stuff either in France, Norway or Cambridge.

Edit, stupid keyboard.

The Palace in Leeds mate

I’m a Product Manager for a large American Chemical Company. If you brush your teeth, there’s a fair bet you’ve had some of my thick creamy liquid in your mouth this morning.

But; I’m open to offers because since we were taken over a year ago they’ve driven me mental with ridciulous levels of beaurecracy and internal politics. Employment consultants working in the science / technical / chemical industries – mail me……

I’m a fire engine or a motorbike or a cowboy or a astronot.

analyst

sounds like a cyst up ya bum!

I run a small (the company not the speakers!) loudspeaker manufacturing company.

During the day – Sleep, I work nights.

During the night (my day) – drive a drillship.

Drive being a silly description cause we have to keep in the same spot. The details are boring (HA!)

when jen asks what the people she’ll be working with are like… well, that’s me.

Data Engineer for Rolls Royce, good job most of the time, but long hours lately, so getting less and less bike time

I am a Contact Centre Systems designer / systems intergation specialist…… “press one for this, press two for that” 🙂 I love my job, like a massive train set to play with every day 😀

scottyjohn- i’m headed that way too. currently getting to grips with an avaya switch, everything from patching/installing phones through to writing/modifying vectors. it’s pretty fun, to be fair!

I used to repossess people’s houses (as a last resort…), now in internal Security & Fraud for a large financial organisation.

Workshops manager and part time precision engineer based in Mk, we act as an overflow for the current f1 constructors champions doing the nasty bits they haven’t got time to mess with, also machine composite engine parts for the biggest engine builder in brixworth and a few other teams, also make commercial bits for satellites, bits and pieces for the government and its agencies etc etc,

Long hrs especially as we are at RB’s beckoning call , why do they always call at 530 on a Friday ?

I hate hardened Ti it doesn’t do as its told,

On the plus side I do get to go to the factory 3-4 times a week and today got to see the new reception and the new trophy cabinet, I went back to my car to get my phone and got some pictures,

Really should get a life !

Motor Engineer Assessor basically write accident damaged cars off for insurance company’s occasionally I get to see one that’s worth repairing.

Oh, and if next week goes badly, I might tell you a bit about a large telecommunications company near Newbury…

I’m a physio student who happens to have a job providing physio (under supervision) to an elite sports squad. Most physio people are desperate for a job in elite sport but never get there. I on the other hand appear to have stumbled into such a job without trying or even wanting to work in that field (it’s not exactly top of my list as I prefer working with older people), but I wont knock the work back.

I do bikes.

Details are boring, bike’s and bike bits aren’t.

Then after they day, it’s bikes.

Bikes, eh!?

This is fantastic….in my mind this all blows the stw stereotype out of the proverbial water!
