What do people do for a living?

[Fat Freddy]

I work in a museum.  Although it’s been shut for most of this year. Opened for last few weeks, closing again next week. Probably going to be redeployed, maybe collecting swab tests and delivering them to labs.... not sure yet.

I work as New Product Introduction and Development Engineer (NPI for short) for a company making lenses for the Film Industry. Kept going through the recent and actual tough time without to much damage.

Do you fix and repair? Soon to be a lucrative business keeping the highly specialised cars on the road. I should imagine modifying will soon become a thing. The Twizzy scene is already enjoying motor and battery swaps with ECU upgrades an alike.

I work in engineering, all but the jigs and fixtures I make is destroyed in seconds, I work in the machine shop of a small metallurgical & heat treatment company making the tensile test pieces (that's anything from concrete re-enforcing bar to titanium extrusions for aerospace, the odd bits of history and parts that have self destructed)

[Laxon]

I work in IT. Computer sales, repairs, networks and lots of consumer / client contact. For the moment - I don't how long this moment will be- i'm on sick leave. I have Lambert-Eatons Syndrome which makes walking and standing rather difficult. 😒

Thats why forums like MSUK and FB are valuable to keep the sanity.

[Dax Hewitt]

I run a small air compressor, blower and vacuum pump service and repair company. 

I pay people to do the office work so I can work on site with the lads. 

I would go mad if I were in the office everyday. 

[Borked]

Was a mechanical engineer making one off machinery for manufacturing, assembling and testing heavy duty diesel injectors. The type of machines with robotic arms and conveyor belts 😂

 

Then a few years ago I retrained as a software developer during my free time in the evenings so I could move back to the south east to be closer to family (there’s not many mechanical engineering jobs south east, but doing software you can work from anywhere).

 

I miss the engineering sometimes, but writing software’s pretty interesting and there’s always new and different things to do. Mainly write software for vehicle leasing companies as well as some local government stuff.

I'm a production engineer for a company that manufactures electric motors, inverters and batteries mainly for transport but we've got stuff all over the place. Currently in the process of upscaling from more bespoke projects to having facilities to do multiple drive in-drive out electric bus conversions. All designed and built in-house!
