jwalker Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 It's called a flame pack because there is a small flame inside the hand piece. It's more of a "sniffer". You wave the wand over the gas lines and it "sniffs" out leaks. The flame is not dangerous. It just part of what make the unit be able to sniff.

Pepthedog Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 I want to update this thread and let everyone know that Southern Cross is hiring (July 2013). They have some new accounts and need more survey techs. Read through this thread, it's been up for a while but still has some really good information. Brian Flynn (operations manager) or Matt Reardon (project supervisor) can be contacted at (770) 441-0403. Tell them you heard about it from Kevin. If you want you can e-mail me and I’ll give you my cell number. Quote kpcartwright@gmail.com http://airstreamtalesandtrails.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsea43 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) To follow up on what pepthedog posted last month. Here is a link to a posting Southern Cross made in Workers Wanted section of this forum last month! http://www.rvnetwork.com/index.php?showtopic=105925 It appears they have a need now that makes them more responsive to those interested in applying!

wingerphil Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Here is an update on my application. Called and talked to Matt one of the supervisors in the office in Georgia and listed in the above post. He said they are not hiring at this time and not sure if there will be a need in the near future. He mentioned that they have 14 techs finishing an assignment in the Northern States in the next 4 weeks and will need to find spots for them to be reassigned before hiring new personnel. He did pull my application and noted that I would be a good candidate for a future opening but I got the feeling that could be a ways down the road. I will continue to follow up with him on a regular basis but just wanted to let everyone else know what I had found out.

usandthreedogs Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Just an FYI, now that the new year has started, SCC will start hiring again. I know that here in WA I'll be looking for several techs. We may hire more locals but I know just about every project will be kicking off around March 1.

jfxg48 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Barney..... This sounds interesting. I know you can't look too far into the future, but I would be interested in work in the northwest US or BC mid-summer into fall. Would contracts starting in March extend that long? Or even into the winter (Puget Sound area)? Thanks.

usandthreedogs Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Mike, it looks like SCC is hiring for Nolfork, Richmond, and the DC area. John, I don't think we have anything in the Puget sound area. I'm think I'm the "out West" project right now Eastern WA, N. Idaho, SW OR. http://www.southerncrosscorp.com/ If any of you are interested click on the SCC web site and go to careers, the locations, then fill out the app. the application is designed to see if you are good fit for the job or if the jobs a good fit for you. once its filled out it goes into a data base that all the supervisors can access.

drrouner Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Barney, Does a person has any say where they get sent to? My biggest trepidation is that I will get sent somewhere for seven months that I wouldn't like or have lived there before. This job sounds great if it will allow me to travel and see the country. Thanks for all of the information. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usandthreedogs Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Mike, thanks for the app. As far as follow up goes, not sure. You could call and speak with Matt Readon. He is the Travelers Supervisor. David, We go where the work is and where the contracts are signed. That being said SCC will try and work with your needs. I have found that those employees that prove their worth to the Co (go work ethic, self starters, get er done attitude) get their needs met faster. If someone whines and bitches constantly, they ususally get tthe oportunity to be successful working for someone else.

drrouner Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 I resubmitted my application a couple of weeks ago and didn't hear back so I called Matt Readon and he told me he was no longer in charge of recruiting anymore, but he would relay my information to Adam. I then wrote an email for Brian. I have also called the office and left two voicemails for another recruiter. I haven't heard a peep from anybody. A few months ago I talked to them and they told me they wanted to hire me but i was selling my house and needed a few more months. They told me to contact them in Feburary. i'm pretty perplexed, but I heard this is norma,l, but I am ready to hit the road. Does anybody know the name of the outfit in Texas that also hire traveling techs. I think it starts with a "H" or a "N". David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsea43 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 I am racking my brain but cannot remember it! If I do I will come back and post it. I had their app at one time and talked to them but some things changed on my part and I dropped it with both companies. I am pretty sure the name you are looking for is in this thread probably back in late 2007 or early 2008. Good luck!

drrouner Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 I found it, it is called Heath Consultants. http://www.heathus.com/_hc/index.cfm/employment/current-openings/. I remember seeing it on the forum but couldn't find it. Finally just googled around for traveling tech jobs.They are hiring traveling techs and maybe I will have better luck with this outfit.

usandthreedogs Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 there was a managment shuffle at SCC about the first of Feb. Adam Mayfield is in charge of the Travelers now. Unfortunately any info that Matt had has been lost. I know, dumb move on SCCs part. But it was a software glitch that dumped everything Matt had when he took his new position. Adam's number 770 255 1284 Hope this helps Barney Quote fulltimer since 05, traveling,working,traveling,working......Barney and Cheryl(RIP 6/15/13) love you Baby!
