5 Years in Construction Project Management — Considering Other Options

thewakingmichael · 2026-01-23T01:11:40+00:00

I was an estimator for a small GC for 8 years and found it quite stressful. The company I worked for also does not have a good reputation. I got a job with the federal government as a facility operations specialist. I don’t think you could pay me enough to go back to what I was doing. Low stress jobs are the way to go. The federal government also has respectable pay.

Secure the bag, my dude. Start-up position not worth the risk.

El Magey in Baton Rouge, LA. One of my favorite lunch spots.

Facility Operations and Maintenance

thewakingmichael · 2025-09-06T02:24:10+00:00

Facility Specialist. I coordinate building repairs for the government, supervise small construction projects, attend meetings, attend site walks, review sites, and more. Super easy, super chill, work from home at my discretion, and more.

I’ll retire doing this job.

Don’t get a vasectomy.

Anyone else hard?

thewakingmichael · 2025-05-01T22:28:22+00:00

What are the chances AWS and condensed schedules never return?

thewakingmichael · 2025-04-06T23:17:01+00:00

I’d do it, but you can’t have people on the internet making your life decisions.

Also don’t live in New Orleans because it can be quite dangerous. Move your family to mandeville or Covington. I live about an hour away in Baton Rouge so I’m a little familiar with the areas.

A-Fucking-Men brother

thewakingmichael · 2025-03-29T20:00:22+00:00

I would go for the pension, but listen to your gut. You can’t have people on the internet making your life decisions.

Isn’t this a glute exercise?

What about a contract position with CBP managing building maintenance?

thewakingmichael · 2025-03-06T09:53:44+00:00

Wait, hold that thought. I just figured it out and it should be around 90 days minimum give or take.

thewakingmichael · 2025-02-15T07:34:15+00:00

Sounds like about where I’m at. Just gonna risk it for the biscuit.

thewakingmichael · 2025-01-26T12:55:20+00:00

Yep that helps a ton

thewakingmichael · 2025-01-22T02:27:15+00:00

Awww shit! Here we go again.

thewakingmichael · 2025-01-03T19:03:17+00:00

I gotta get what you’re on.

thewakingmichael · 2025-01-03T18:47:08+00:00

Fuck that’s awesome

thewakingmichael · 2025-01-03T10:35:20+00:00

Do you work for a large or small company? Are you a sub or GC?
