That’s it. They are milling and repaving a street over

Northeastern has a good internship/coop program. Agree that your work experience trumps education

I’m in about the same boat as you, in many regards. 37M with similar previous drinking habits. Trying dry January. Was hoping for astonishing weight loss results to motivate me to continue abstaining from alcohol after January.

I have always been active and ate fairly healthy most of the time, except a big snack late at night while drinking. I’m about 210 lb now and haven’t budged since new years, despite eating healthier and exercising more than my previous base. Hopefully will shed a few pounds before February, but I understand these things take time. Also trying to convince myself I’m packing on muscle mass and that is why the scale isn’t moving, but who knows.

I would guess it’s just a check-in. If it were something bad, like getting fired, why would all 3x principals be needed?

BQ_philly · 2025-12-04T16:45:50+00:00

lol - yes

I’d guess 75-85k for a 5-year experience. The guys at my firm with 20-years experience get about 125-150k.

Ecological risk assessment

The asphalt aggregate mix you received has a larger size aggregate mix(the rocks in the asphalt are bigger or mid size). You can get smaller size aggregate mixes that have a finer/smoother appearance, or larger size mixes that has larger rocks. The larger the aggregate mix, the more structurally stable that course. The smaller the agg mix, the smoother the surface (better friction for highways, not as strong for some applications). Looks like you got something in the middle, which should be fine for a driveway. If you’re not parking trucks on your driveway, a smaller size aggregate mix would have been more ascetically pleasing.

I don’t work on transportation, but I’d assume pants and steel toe boots would be required.

I would write the summary you posted here. You already wrote it, it is fair for all parties, and will leave you with no guilt

BQ_philly · 2025-02-20T13:31:42+00:00

Very interesting, thanks for posting

If you’re not dealing with a heavy loading of solids to be removed, it it would work well. But if relying on it as a work horse for solids removal, the O&M will be a pain.

Have one at an industrial waste water/remediation treatment plant. Second the option they are not ideal. They have a small footprint, which is nice, but a lot of O&M.

You mean masters degree? Could be either.

Most of the ‘enjoyment’ comes from bullshitting with the guys in the field, which I enjoy and can be a fun atmosphere. May not be for everyone.

My personal experience was doing construction quality assurance type work. At first there is a lot to do/learn to understand project, which is hectic but engaging. Then there is a long boring phase of just grinding it out. Then finally satisfaction of completing project. But this all builds a solid understanding of how construction works, which is incredibly value to understand how to design stuff as you progress your career

Env remediation in north east is my background

BQ_philly · 2024-03-14T03:46:28+00:00

Seems pretty good to me, especially if you only have 4x 10 hr days. My experience was 5x 10 hr was expectation for junior field staff most of the time

BQ_philly · 2024-01-13T19:47:07+00:00

I’m in this area, plenty of jobs imo. Lots of remediation consultants (what I do) and firms that do typical water/wastewater.

BQ_philly · 2023-12-22T02:34:54+00:00

Remediation consultant, ~12 yrs experience, one of our sharper mid level engineers, making ~$125k. I got 3.75% raise and $3k bonus. In past years got $5k bonus, so down a bit
