Well its only been a couple weeks, the body is adjusting, long days, it is a major clusterfuck with IT not getting my truck laptop linked in with corporate system and company cell linked in with both. I did not realize what a large multi national they are, fingers in everything, division I am in is equipment repair, working as a on site electro-mechanic for the service of a line (lines) of equipment they sell.
Some interesting stuff and some ho-hum boring. I am to specialize in their battery driven systems. AGM banks, lead acid banks, and I seen my first large lithium polymer battery system today being installed into a large riding unit.
I found out they reconsidered me and found a way to make a position for me due to a couple reasons. During the interview I was just casually talking about the battery types I seen in the warehouse, mentioning cell chemistry, voltage charging/discharging parameters and the importance of setting the charging profile right.
I must have seemed like a genius to him (interviewer) as on my 2nd or 3rd day there one of the guys came up to me and said that they had fired a previous guy they were training as he went out to perform a PM on a piece of customer equipment and in going through the check list one item was to check the specific gravity of the battery bank, this unit had AGM's in it. He should have crossed that item out and went onto the next...he didn't do that. I was told he got a drill and started drilling into the batteries to find a way to test the acid.
The other thing that caused them to make me a position was when the guy asked me how I was with mechanics/mechanical. Not having any credentials I could only describe some of the things I had build for industry and without pictures he wasn't impressed, don't blame him, people bullshit. Then I remembered I had one small project I had done for myself maybe 20 years back that was up on the net and I could show him. Now that I work there I hear he talked about that for days after. Mine is John's homemade digger, the best looking one there. https://www.oilyhands.co.uk/Build_your_own_digger.htm Anyway, I am a working drone now, head down, mouth shut, just give me my pay and no one gets hurt.
