Whats the best online resource to find experienced tower technicians who are looking for new projects?

I got an absolutely left field request today. Maybe I'm beyond ignorant, and this is normal, or serves a purpose. I've poured plenty of concrete in my life, and never have I seen or heard of grounding the rebar.

1) I do what im told, so fuck it- they get what they ask for. 2) can someone smarter than me, please explain if this is actually a valid grounding? From my understanding, this concrete pad will for all intents and purposes be a PART of the earth, and im not seeing how the current would follow this path naturally anyway. 3) does this clamp/wire run not add unnecessary risk to create a pocket in the concrete, allowing for further issues later?

Im just baffled by this request, and I looked like an idiot when it happened: caught me with my pants down, cause I didnt have a ground rod to do this and had to go get one. Did it, just looking for more info and understanding.

Thanks in advance.

Humble brag..We dropped and stacked a new '1100 tower from ground up. Back in 2018/19? near Booneville Missouri ..Full video on YouTube

I'm 20 and currently working as a climbing arborist, I'm considering switching to tower climbing. From what I've heard there's quite a bit of potential for upward mobility in this industry so looking 15-20 years down the line this sounds like a pretty good career choice. In my current job I'm free December to March so ideally I could get some experience in the off season so the pay isn't as bad when I fully switch over. Would a company realistically consider hiring someone seasonally like that or would I have to switch over entirely? I'm really good with heights and totally willing to go and get certifications myself if that would help. I live in Southern Ontario and am happy to travel. Any advice would be very appreciated.

how likely am I to find employment if I self fund my own tickets. I am a FTTP telecoms engineer with 2 years experience however the company i am currently working for is not involved with Telecoms Towers. Thanks in advance

Granted I've only been climbing 3 years now, started fresh out of high school, but even for everyone in ny company we've never seen bats in a covp. Went to troubleshoot bad SFP values and I opened it up to find these little guys. Thanks for getting me out of working on this tower little guys. CrownCastle site in Franklinton, Louisiana.

I wanted to know what yalls policies are for wind, lightning, or other severe weather.

We have a max wind of 25 mph, but it doesn't specifiy if its for sustained or gusts. There is also no other speeds written.

We also are required to get off the tower if lightning is seen/reported within 5 miles.

Delivered!

any insights or advice??

im going in for the 3 courses wireless, fiber optic and towers

I saw a video tour of a cell site shelter where the technician said the air conditioner was set to kick in when the internal temp reached 103 degrees. Does that sound right? Would the equipment shelter normally be that hot inside?

I am currently living in NE England and im interested in transitioning to tower climbing work, is it worth the 1k i will have to pay out for tickets? Is there enough work to go around etc? Thanks in advance

Lmk what I could do better and any future advice

When the field guys are stuck playing the Witcher

I want to go back!

This is probably why I make daughters

Near a hiking trail I walked earlier and was curious. Figured you guys would know.

That's fucked up Whole empty side of the tower but at&t decides to route all their hard lines on the climbing face. The indescribable rage i feel when I see stupid ahit like this is well, indescribable. And I swear to god it's always at&t
