Got an offer at EPS (voltyx)
I just got an offer at EPS and I’m super excited for the opportunity. I’ll be a substation protection and controls wireman. Can anyone tell me the good, the bad, and the ugly about this line of work? To give some info on my background, I’m coming from manufacturing doing mainly controls wiring in a panel shop environment, along with machine integration. I know the driving and travel can be a lot but I’m willing to tough that out for this opportunity. What are the day to day things that make this kind of work great and not so great? I already accepted the offer and it’ll be a life changing bump in pay for me, I’ve already determined that it’ll be worth it for me to grind the 50 hour weeks and it seems like the managers I interviewed with want me to work towards pre commissioning work given my background in controls wiring. I know this can open many different opportunities up for me. What advice would you give someone in my shoes? What are lessons you learned the hard way in this line of work? Any advice or info is appreciated and I’m excited to start out in this field, although it seems daunting from the outside looking in.
