Rattletrap2 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I spent 27 years working as an HVAC/R Mechanic on commercial and industrial equipment. The latter part of my time was spent working in a specialty area of the trade. I serviced Scientific equipment that reached temperatures as low as -152 deg.C. We also supported Life Science equipment such as incubators and test chambers. I was managing this work all across Canada for a contractor based here in Ontario. We provided warranty service for all the major US manufacturers. I gave that up in 2007 to pursue a full time teaching position working with Apprentices in our field. I prepared for this by teaching part-time since 1995 and taking professional training in how to teach technical courses. It's been a fun 3 years and I never look back!

ckrb2007 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I'm a cable & line technician (fibre optic splicer) for Allstream. I work mostly in the downtown Toronto core but do travel throughout Ontario. Several thousand kilometres of our cables run along the CP Rail lines so I sometimes get to ride the rail and see some pristine backlakes along the way.(yes, I pack my rod the odd time) Cheers, Colin This was taken a few days ago while working on Yonge St @ about 4am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total experience of 19 years, but got serious about my carreer when I earned my Red seal 11 years ago and have been Loveing it. Down sizing, cut backs and general Market turmoil has opened the opportuntiy for me to hold 2 titles (Director of F& now for the last 2 years as well. The work load has been enormous but its been a great experience as someday I hope to open my own resort. I now feel I have the knowledge and expereince to make that happen....I just need to fast forward the clock, and build that bank account a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danc Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Sheet Metal Worker since '77. Currently working in Red Lake. Here's a few pics of what my job involves. Heating and air conditioning. And sometimes the jobs get a little bigger such as installing this mine ventilation silencer. It's been a rewarding career choice. I've worked all over Northwestern Ontario and have met some great people. 5 more years and I'm done!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiel Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Multimedia Technician for Lakehead University up here in Thunder Bay. My oldest daughter is off to University this September Tom and I tried to talk her into Lakehead, but she said that would be better suited to my desires than hers, smart kid. Oh well I have have two more who'll soon be off to University, there's hope yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well I have have two more who'll soon be off to University, there's hope yet. So where is she going Chris, and under what dicipline?? Doesn't mean she will not be up here next year, or in our satellite campus in Orillia. Know lots of students who started off in Guelph, Waterloo, U of T, Laurentian, Nippising, etc, etc, first year, then switched Colleges or Universities the next year. They have a vision of where they want to go, but after the first year, lots of them rethink their position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
