I build these

How hard are they to work on, be honest. Looks like a shit ton of bolts and couplers. Heavy shit that probably needs craned or fuckin forklifted (cherry picked) into place...

@@oklagrowmie5587 It's not necessarily hard but it is very involved. You are correct in assuming a lot needs to be craned and there are an absolute shit ton of bolts on these machines. I'd say the hardest part is learning just where all the parts go, added by the fact that we work with tolerances within ten thousandths. It's satisfying seeing your hard work pay off though when we do get one put together in It's entirety.

@@carsonc1156 Amazing info, thanks a ton for your time. Reason I was asking is because they are looking at hiring me as an FSE. As most field service jobs are the same (Travel, tools, fix shit, make customer happy, deal with incompetent service manager, struggle to get parts ordered, apply band-aids to everything, etc etc). The differences come down to stupid stuff like: What hotels will I be in? Do I have to share a rental with everyone else? Am I constantly flying on American Airlines? Are my flights always connections to save money? Will I be filthy dirty every day? From Oil and Gas, Aerospace to Biomed. I've repaired, retrofitted, networked, troubleshot, sold, trained and managed just about every piece of equipment there is in the world. I will say this though, cranes and rigging quals, using customers access (Ibeams, Cherry pickers, Forklifts and chains) and tolerances meaning feeler gauges and torque settings. Which when cutting, crimping, sanitizing, pressing, etc a aluminum can (meaning very high speed) I'll likely need a high speed camera to troubleshoot, learn 3-6 different kinds of software interfaces, be forced to update outdated systems with components and equipment that isn't even compatible (thanks Engineers) and deal with the shit storm that is upper management. Am I close to hitting the nail on the head at all? I assume you work in the factory actually making the equipment to spec. Again, thanks a ton for your time and information.

@@oklagrowmie5587 Sounds like you've got a pretty good grip on the way it is😂 You're mostly accurate (we outsource the high speed vision). I, myself am not one of the service guys, thankfully. But all in all this place treats you verrry well.

@@carsonc1156 I like that way that sounds, just been trying to find a company in this day and age where you can actually feel like you're apart of a team/family and not just a number. Thanks again!!!!
