doing what? I've got a while before I'm out, but I'm always curious to see what is out there.

The majority of these positions will be for what we call a shop planner. Your time is split about 50/50 between the office and the shops. You work as a go between the different aspects of the manufacturing process (customer, project management, engineering, schedulers, sales, machine shop, fabrication, etc). You are in charge of taking care of a project out on the shop floor, from the first pieces of the raw material until the finished product is assembled, tested, and shipped out the door.

If you're someone who likes to sit in front of the computer and design stuff, this job is not for you. If you like being out in the shops watching stuff be built from the ground up, this is more your style. We build offshore oil equipment, and most of these parts are one off, so things are always changing.

As for the facilities, we have a large climate controlled machine shop and assembly bay, six fabrication bays, as well as other support facilities. We also just bought out another company on the ship channel that will greatly increase the size of the products we're capable of building

I can say this, I had better and worse offers. I took this one because it did not require traveling, it seemed really laid back and I liked the machine shop. I make my own hours, and the dress code is casual. But as far as pay goes, we are comparable to other companies in the area, and I believe we have hired at least one graduating MMET every semester for the last 3 years. And the opportunities to advance are pretty good. I'm going into shop scheduling. The head of project management, one project manager, and the head of the manufacturing department are all A&M MMET grads

BTW, if you're interested, but not an MMET, let me know as well. One of our guys was a physics major. Hell, even if you don't have a degree, but have alot of manufacturing/fabrication experience, there may be a position similar to the one described above available
