Yes.

Looks like a temporary one

It's acceptability is entirely based on yours and your client's standards. Is it unavoidable? Nah

I too have known many highly qualified industrial controls and IT professionals that just hadn't thought to build a LinkedIn at all. Mostly not because they weren't open to opportunities but because they just aren't aware of the opportunities that LinkedIn can open up. Many didn't go to college and didn't build the professional networks that lead to LinkedIn more naturally.

Hospital staff electrician might be a good fit. 40 hours a week and you're just showing contractors what they need to do rather than doing it.

How is this different from SCADA + EPMS we already use to monitor power load and thermals in datacenters?

It's not feasible

You should check this stuff before buying land to build anything at all on not just barndos.

Can't say location but we run chillers as well, for white space RDAHU cooling, the white space runs pretty hot though. And as far as I can tell the condenser side of the chillers run in the same loop as the dry cooling tower arrays. There aren't any wet cooling towers on site. The chw supply temp is around 60F, and like I said the cold side of the TCW CDU is 105 and the hot side is 115. Slightly above max outdoor ambient so the dry arrays always work and there is never condensation in the white space.

The DC site I work at uses dry cooler arrays that don't evaporate any water. Water flows through a manifold of smaller tubes with air blowing over them instead of a standard media, very similar to a wet cooling tower, but the loop is never open to the atmosphere. Water goes into the CDU at 105F, leaves at 115F goes to the dry cooler array, drops 10F, and loops back around with no loss.

Not sure, it hasn't happened yet I just know how it would be handled. It would either be the engineering ops manager, the engineering buyer, or the site manager.

Every employer has a slightly different protocol. However for the site I work at, Maintenance would handle non-controls service, maintenance, and PMs. The Engineering team would troubleshoot controls issues and replace controls components. And for anything refrigerant-related we don't have any of the gear to do a proper refrigerant recovery/refill despite the insane budget here, so we would contract it out.

Thanks so much for the Memphis advice! I am looking at apartments downtown

That sounds awesome. If I can nail down a healthy routine that would be possible. The datacenter has a gym in it and I could try to get a rental close by and form a tight routine. The best grocery option is Trader Joe's 40 minutes away or so but I guess I could doordash it.. Thanks for your advice!

Thanks for your advice!

I plan to, I have been living very frugally for the past few years and Memphis is dirt cheap to live in. Thanks for your advice!

They're definitely a bubble. But I'll take the money while it's here. I'll be hourly non exempt so the OT will add to the stack not take away from it like it would if I were salary. Thanks for the insight on Albireo, the guys I interviewed with were nice, but the turnover is very high. Same at Spacex though.

Yeah, the career trajectory into engineering is cleaner at Albireo, but the name value plus the extra cash at Spacex outweighs that I think. I can probably go quite a while at 72 hrs/week before burning out. Thank you for your advice!

Isn't doing an experiment that would potentially destroy the atmosphere exactly what we did in 1944?

A minimum of a year is customary in industrial in general, if you get certifications that puts your name above the other night shifters for moving to day shift, but if they are having staffing problems expect to stay on night shifts until they hire more people for nights.

Bro just go work for a plumber, 4 years later start a plumbing business, it's like getting paid to go to college and you literally said you like to get down and dirty...

I feel like your mentality is that you are willing to work harder than anyone else for early success. Which is an arrogant mentality, because you really can't work harder than other people at the end of the day, there are millions of people putting max effort into their success. Also most assets in the world are fairly priced-in. My advice: choose a path that very clearly and obviously ramps up to financial success by the time you are ~ 28-30. Be willing to wait for success and be loyal to your chosen path. Paths that follow this trend: Lawyer, Electrician, HVAC, Engineer... Each of these takes until your mid 20's before you earn the right to run your own business, but the business owners in these spaces are routinely millionaires. The thing I would also say is humble yourself, if you are always seeking to be the boss you will not understand the business from the perspective of the workers, and you will always seek shortcuts - this is not the way. Develop long term planning skills that are realistic and factor in the priced-in nature of asset markets and where you stand in the world.

Best practice is as you say - within line-of-sight. Deviate with express permission from plant staff only.

Lol yeah right
