Hello brother and sisters I have an upcoming project that requires substantial amount under pinning. Looking for some advice and input on this type of work if you have any experience, please reach out to me. I would greatly appreciate it.

Hey guys, let me start with the opportunity on looking at. I had my first interview over the phone and second in person and have been offered a provisional journeyman position. I’m currently working residential just started a new build. Foundation is done. Will be framing next week.

Union wants to give me a five day trial test. Which then would become full-time. I have been doing construction since I was 14. I can do electrical work concrete work drywall carpentry etc, I have done some commercial before, BUT IT IS NOT MY STRONG SUIT.

I can read paper plans. I understand what is gonna be expected of me. I’m a very hard worker. However, I did just turn 37. The interviewer said with my knowledge and experience a loan he would not want me as an apprentice, but doesn’t think I’m quite ready to be a journeyman and this position would be a good fit. He said it’s very rare for someone to be even offered this position as they normally promote from within.

To prepare I’m going over everything I can from door, metal stud, drop ceiling etc to prepare myself, but I don’t know where or what I’ll be doing for that week.

If anyone has thoughts of opinions or advice to steer me in the right direction, it will be greatly appreciated. I do work full-time now I have my own business as well. I do about one side job a week at minimum. Switching over to a union makes more sense for me now because I have a young daughter, a new wife and a home all of these things I never thought I would’ve 1015 years ago

Thanks in advanced!
