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?

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.

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.

Jesse Wurmbrand

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.

Great offer but I tend to micro manage a little too much to let go of that much control.
Translation : can't apply a proper head slap from that distance...

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




His dad got deployed and there was one else offering him a position of importance....
Any new employee will have to pass the "sniff test".....

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

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).
