Two trainers. One mark.

For the tradesperson. For the new hire.

Same building work, two jobs. One trainer is for a tradesperson who wants a facilities job. The other is for a person already hired, and for the manager who has to say what the first 90 days are. Neither one names an employer. Both apply in an occupied building anywhere in the country.

Trainer one

Leaving the field

Nine stations. Each one tells you what to read, what to write, and what finished means. The shift, the work you will not do, the resume line, the interview, where you will apply, and the offer you will not go below.

Trainer two

The first 90 days

Thirteen stations, with a worksheet at the end of each one. The last station is a set of campus drawings: the tower, the chiller, air, water, power, the generator, the UPS, and life safety.

What they will see

An occupied building

People are already in the building. The plant has names and locations. The graphic is not a number they measured. A vendor still on site is written into the handoff.

What is expected

A record someone else can check

The shift has a start, a stop, and a named backup. A close-out has a symptom, a cause, a correction, the parts, the condition left, and who was told. The next shift can read it.

What safety looks like

The order, the valve, the stop list

Energy isolation is recognition only. The sprinkler tamper is on the control valve. Medium voltage, refrigerant, the fire-alarm program, medical gas, elevator controls, and a confined space stay with a qualified person.

New hire · thirteen stations

The skill is not the part that fails.

A manager, a recruiter, and the new hire read the same stations. The first station is the change from field work: the building stays occupied, the shift has an end, and willing is not qualified. Later stations cover the work-order system, permits and impairments, safety, the first 90 days, and the systems a new hire has to name. Days 1 to 30, days 31 to 60, and days 61 to 90 are their own stations. The last station is the check a manager uses. No employer is named. The building's written procedure still controls.

Who wrote it

A third-generation tradesman built this.

He is a licensed electrician and a subject-matter expert at a pharmaceutical campus. He has worked in the trades for more than twenty years. His grandfather worked in the trades. His father worked in the trades. His license is electrical. He also works mechanical systems, general building, HVAC, and plumbing. He is not a specialist in all of them.

He left field work for a facilities job after the schedule, the pay, the time off, and the lockout method kept changing from job to job. Before he accepted, the shift, the person who covered his days off, the lockout steps, and the benefits were written down.

For the person leaving field work

Nine stations. Then the worksheet.

This is the course for a tradesperson who wants the facilities job. Start at station 01. Read the station, then fill in the worksheet. It does not open the handbooks or the site forms.

The facilities job, written so it can be checked.

If you are in the trades

Nine stations. You write the shift you will accept, the work you will not do, one resume line that names the equipment, and the offer you will not go below. $297 once. This device only.

If you manage a new hire

Thirteen stations through day 90, then the campus drawings. What changes from field work. The work-order system. Permits. Safety. What is due at day 30, day 60, and day 90. $297 once. This device only. It does not open the tradesman course.

It is not a license, a certificate, or a site procedure. It is for an occupied building in any state. Each trainer is $297. Handbooks are $149. Blank job forms are $59. A payment opens one of those, on one device. A move code on the receipt opens it on a new device and closes the old one.
