I'm a Maintenance Technician at an Aerospace and Defense machine shop called Smiths Machine in Cottondale, AL. Operators keep me pretty busy most of the time but after I chew on them a little they seem to take care of the machines a little more now. We machine parts for Lockheed-Martin, Viasat, Kollmorgen, Kongsberg, L3 KEO and many others. We have 22 DMG Mori machines 2 that use Heidenhain controls and the others use Siemens controls. Been here for almost 4 years now and wish I would have got in this field sooner! By the way if I didn't have a 3 year old child I would be doing this for Siemens or some other travel company.

Spent 20 years in dealerships in service department. Had a chance to go into the in law's wholesale treated lumber distribution company a few years back. I buy, broker and sell treated and fire retardant treated wood all over the southeast. My wife owns the company and we make a great team.
I also run an axle shop here in town primarily doing gear installs and upgrades. I stay 4-6 weeks booked out year round.
The family biz pays the bills but wrenching is my passion.

[wont work]

Self employed for a few years out of high school as a welder and mnt at various plants.
Taught welding for almost 13 years and just resigned last month from that because I got tired of the local bs and having to work 2 jobs to keep up with my lifestyle.
Went back to work for myself as a contractor welding, fabbing, heavy equipment mnt, plant mnt and about anything thats broke. Was scared to death to leave the and go back to work for myself and leave a steady pay check but so far has been awesome.
Im about 45 minutes west of Birmingham and have machine shop but mostly do on site repairs from pipe welding to repairing a water truck if anyone needs anything.

I work for Siemens Energy in the Generator sector. Great company to work for, but global generator sales are way down. We are trying to fill the void with service work (refurbishing power plant generators), and hope it pans out....**** is as low as it has been in my 12 years with them. Where we used to build 40+ new generators per year, we have 11 on the books for the following year beginning in October. Hopefully I'm not looking for a job next year. Lol
