Looking at a move to CA

[numbawunfela]

Looking to get insight on the lay of the land from a BAS controls perspective as I start job hunting. Is the market tight? Who is dominant in the area, who should I avoid working for? We will likely be in the Riverside area, but we might end up in the Anaheim area. Any reason to pick one over the other?

A little about me (in case you want chat about a job) Here are the cliff notes.

I currently work with Alerton and Distech, using JACE front ends. I engineer the job, oversee install, program it up, and close it out.

JCI Senior Factory Trained through their Service Technical Academy. As of 2013 there were only 27 Controls guys in the country that had finished the training - even though it has been out for a number of years. it is impressive if you know what it is, I can send details on it. Not much is available online.

I don't know if you've for sure got your wheels in motion to move, but if you would consider staying in NE we might have a spot for you. Contact me with a private message through the board and I will give you my cell.
