Looking for a mechanic
 
Supertec is entertaining the possibility of hiring an engine builder in the very near future.
Anyone interested in pursuing this possibility feel free to contact me.

Laid back environment, 4 day work week, low pay and no bennies except my cooking. What more could you ask for?

Man....I'd be all over that if the commute was a little shorter.

Open up a Midwest/Great Lakes shop?

Henry if I won the lottery, I'd be there next week, and would work for the cooking and the knowledge. I'd share my cooking but keep my barely competent knowledge to myself.

Is room and bording included?

Henry Schmidt 04-17-2011 05:41 PM

I have a guest house so for the right guy, who knows?

I'd do it for free on the weekends ;) Just ship all the parts to me, I'll set up a nice video conference in my garage and we'll have at it!

....

No? did I mention I was free? :p

Henry,

I've probably done eight to ten engines for my various 911s and helped out countless friends on theirs. I was taught, originally, by one of the best shops in Denver.

I'm looking for a change in circumstance; I've owned a construction company in Denver for a while but I grew up in CA and have a degree from UCSD. I've been looking for a path back to California.

I'm interested.

What I am looking for in an engine builder is a general knowledge of engines and engineering coupled with a pride in workmanship.
As for the cooking: My lobster in champagne shallot sauce tends to be a little thin because I refuse to drowned the vanilla bean in butter so any help there would be appreciated.SmileWavy

Great offer but I tend to micro manage a little too much to let go of that much control.

I did hire a shop foreman this weekend but still need an engine builder.

LOL I used to be a robotics engineer so I'm sure I could work something out with that new internet thing everyone's talking about :D

johnman001 04-21-2011 07:35 PM

I would love to build engines for you, if I was 20 years younger and not married with a mortgage, and lived in CA........ The list goes on.

Ah, such is life. I will have to continue to build engines for private parties for the near future (as long as my ME day job holds out).
