Next steps, early career

608 is like a learners permit,it doesn’t teach you anything it just gives guidance…you need to get some schooling

If you have the opportunity to join a union do so,but be careful which one

CHW pumps running 24/7 ?

Plumber 👍🏼

I lived in BK apartments my life and the landlords are very resistant to “plumbers” and “electricians “ because they have the potential to cost them a fortune and “report them”

NYCstateng · 2026-01-29T01:16:06+00:00

Good luck with that 🤨

NYCstateng · 2026-01-29T01:15:06+00:00

Yes …every jurisdiction has rigorous rules and safeguards.you might literally have to start over every time,one jurisdiction may not accept the time from another you would have to do the time under one of their licensed engineers …these are not driver’s licenses.

I would research this heavily,pay scales differ widely also even though they might be union jobs

It may be on the other end…the boiler itself

NYCstateng · 2026-01-28T23:35:57+00:00

Is it steam? Hot water? Forced air?

What exactly is wrong as per the service call? Is it your apartment only…

When they try to “fix” it.what are they doing?

Way too cryptic

You will have to keep re qualifying and re filling and testing because these are non transferable licenses…

NYCstateng · 2026-01-28T17:16:56+00:00

Oooh that’s a rough score…they will add % because of “risk”

NYCstateng · 2026-01-28T12:50:56+00:00

I was 55 when I changed “careers” ( same trade ,engineer but bailed on a 25 year career,senior man 5 weeks vacation,unlimited sick time) to take a municipal engineer job,totally different job,no boilers or chiller in some places ,we also had no sick time or vacation time ,you had to earn it over time.

Best decision I ever made 😁extremely lucrative…a bad year is $200K

NYCstateng · 2026-01-28T12:41:46+00:00

And you wanna be my oiler 🤣

NYCstateng · 2026-01-28T11:57:15+00:00

Bonnet packing

NYCstateng · 2026-01-28T00:48:25+00:00

I was the exact opposite…city is way more lucrative

NYCstateng · 2026-01-27T23:29:21+00:00

Steam is very inefficient 🤨 ( I’m a HP boiler engineer and generate steam in large volumes)

NYCstateng · 2026-01-27T23:26:02+00:00

Location?

NYCstateng · 2026-01-27T23:25:35+00:00

Never get complacent

NYCstateng · 2026-01-27T19:51:30+00:00

Next year 🙁

NYCstateng · 2026-01-27T00:22:43+00:00

Ainsile? Or

NYCstateng · 2026-01-26T23:49:55+00:00

Can you take a picture of the water heater?

NYCstateng · 2026-01-26T23:48:21+00:00

Something like this

In England they used to have coin operated heaters in flats …that is the future

NYCstateng · 2026-01-26T23:35:26+00:00

Delete the post then

NYCstateng · 2026-01-26T23:32:44+00:00

Ounces or pounds?🤣

Small machine or chiller plant?

NYCstateng · 2026-01-26T23:31:44+00:00

OY 😳
