I'm a CNC Machinist for an industrial water pump company.
Municipal wastewater, fire pumps, desalinization, and flood control.


We built the pumps for the world's largest pumping station for New Orleans after Katrina.
I made some of the round S.S. impeller retainers visible on the bottoms of the large assemblies pictured.

So awesome, keep em coming. Love to see the diversity. Some of this stuff sounds like fun. I've been doing Health Care since I joined the Navy back in 1994. Emergency Medicine pretty much the whole time.

@BigCajun good work, it's nice to make see your work make a difference after a catastrophe.

Thanks.
I didn't know when I took this job that we build a lot of pumps for New Orleans.
I found out the neighborhood I used to live in was drained by one of our pumping stations.
It's a source of pride for me since a lot of my family members are in the area.
Another big project we did in New Orleans was the I-10 railroad underpass in New Orleans.
It would flood after heavy rains and many people drowned driving into it.
Could be 10 feet deep at times.
We do a lot of municipal jobs all over the country.

IT manager whose soul has been sucked out and replaced with Jello. In my engineering days, I worked with encryption, compression, and biometrics algorithms. I think I'll be changing careers soon. Not sure I can stand the IT world any longer.

I only made it 11 years before switching to chemistry. I got lucky in that I didn't have a degree and my wife took a job at a university that offered a 100% tuition waiver for family of employees.
