What kind of job is this?
Congrats.
It's with a company that does hazardous materials work. The company does site surveys to find the materials and then oversees the contractors that remove it.
I work with this industry on every project- seems like a good business, as long as you're not doing the removal.congrats on the new job
how old are the kids? (while I typed that, I just imagined your response being "late-20s")
Yeah, it's definitely a niche industry, but it turns out that hazardous materials were pretty much used in everything so there's a lot of work. And yes, definitely happy to be doing the survey/monitoring side and not the removal side.Daughter just turned 6 in April. Had wanted to be employed again when she started full day kindergarten this past fall, but our life has been pretty insane over the last year and a half and kind of conspired against that.
not sure what it's like where you are, but in NYC the DOB has mandated that we hire environmental firms to provide an "all-clear" report (ACP-5
) before we get a permit to build
anything. I would imagine the same would be true of any renovation/remodel work outside of the city too.
so great you got to be there with your daughter the first 6 years. I did my best (working from home my son's first year, and then layed off his fourth- and when my daughter was born), but would have loved to have done that. what does she think about not having your around so much... or will your graveyard hours allow you to still take her to school when you get back from work?
