if youre into to traveling. theres some pipeline work up there for enbridge and a big company out of eau claire called precision. youll have to join a union and start at the bottom unless you can drive equipment, but you can still make some decent money.

I'm really sorry it didn't work out for you, Kevin. Surely something will come through soon. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

I am in the same field. I've been driving a fork lift just to have a job.

Have you ever looked into working for one of the railroads? I would think they would be interested in someone with your skills. Sorry to hear this and hope something comes up soon for you.

Sorry to hear this Lurch. Hopefully you can find something quick. Like that old saying about striking the iron while it's hot. Good luck and let us know if you would be willing to relocate. I would be willing to keep my eye out for you if anything pops up in NC, but not sure if that's an option for you.
