Engineer, OK. But why like this?

We — the engineers on-site. On our feet. On the move. Just passing by.

But why?

That’s the question I get every time someone learns what I do — and more importantly, how I do it. Don’t get me wrong, we don’t really have a “normal life” of our own. Not most of the time.

I won’t bore you with all the details right now — if you’re here, I hope you’ll stick around and get to know the world I’m part of. But here’s the gist:

We work wherever the job takes us. One year it’s the desert. The next, it’s the frozen north.

We grind through brutal schedules — 8 to 7 every day, including all Saturdays and two Sundays a month. (Not exaggerating. That was my last rotation before I got transferred to the central office.)

We live in the smallest corner of whatever city or village we can get to — if we’re lucky. If not, it’s the middle of nowhere, where even finding a hairdresser is a fantasy. So, you learn to cut your own hair. (Spoiler: it never ends well.)

Luxury? Comfort? Routine? We don’t get much of that. But when we finally do take a break — oh man, we go hard.

And every time someone hears about this life, the same question comes:"WHY?""NEDEN?""ПОЧЕМУ?"

And the answer?

Because 70% of us love it.

Sure, some do it for the money — a few years in, then they bounce to something easier. But the ones who stay, the ones who build a career in this madness? It’s not about the paycheck. It’s not even about the travel.

It’s because we love the work.

We love being on our toes. We love being local in places no one else has even heard of. We love pushing boundaries, solving real-world problems, and building things that matter. We love our expertise — and we love what we do with it.

So this is where it starts.

If you stick around, you’ll get to know us — the engineers in town, in the field, in the thick of it. And if you’re already out there in an industrial zone somewhere, dealing with the same chaos? You’re not alone.

I’m the Engineer in Town. Welcome to my world.
