    What do you do for work?

    I was just sitting here reading posts from soooo many different people and started wondering what wide variety of people are on here so i had a look around for a thread asking what people did for a living so i thought i would start one(hopefully i am not repeating an old one that i missed)...

    So i will start it: i am in the construction industry in the building of minesites/gas plants/refineries etc which consists of fly in/fly out which seems to be a community of it's own..
    i am a crane operator (open ticketed and tower crane so that is anything over 100 tonne cranes, and also tower cranes).

    look forward to seeing what others have to say!!

    Im an IT Administrator managing and servicing a small company of 120 users accross Australia and NZ. I look after everything from the boss's mobile phone to the severs and network they all run on.

    Also, I am a chef by trade and spent some time up in the coal mines of central QLD as a second chef.

    I am also an Ex-Serviceman.

    Cheers,

    Sparky, done most aspects of the trade, factory maintenance, heavy construction (mining, coal handling, Gold plants, alum smelters, power stations) now run a small contracting business with good staff we have had for years. Dont do much real work now as the body was abused in younger days, stay in the office mainly. Do live line connections O/H & U/G as I'm the only one with the licence.

    Well, I have just gone up a notch or two. I am now the IT Operations Specialist for the Asia Pacific region for a Major Global Network company (We supply the infrastructure to the Worlds Telcos) submarine cables and enterprise fiber optic switching and networking.

    Basically doing the same thing for my last company but on a much larger scale!!
