I’m in the process of getting my stationary engineers license. I went to turner trade school in 2020 and it’s 2024 I’m not gonna lie I got lazy and didn’t take the test. Now I’m getting my shit together and gonna take review classes at turner school to go take the test. Everyone y’all got this let’s get this money
Amazing video. I'm a Stationary Engineer out here in LA (LOCAL 501) with an Unlimited Boilers license and Universal EPA 608 License. I love my trade. I'd love to work in New York. The trade varies out here. Most jobs out here don't require a boilers license.
I’m very interested in getting into local 501 and begin the apprenticeship program. Unfortunately they aren’t accepting applications until summer of 2025. Is it worth it to wait til then and hope I get accepted or get my epa and steam license on my own and land a job? I am currently a facilites tech for a mall in which we very rarely deal with our boilers/compressors/ and machinery. Just plunging toilets and changing lights/ballasts
@@outofsrvice Look out for LA County's job bulletins. We're opening our apprenticeship program soon. We're represented by Local 501 as well. Definitively, try to get your epa and steam license early. I would always recommend that.
I'd relocate for sure, too bad coming from another country is so difficult. Stationary engineering is a great career, and NYC is my favorite place on earth. As for the age that people should be taught about this stuff, I wish somebody had told me about this 15-20 years ago. My life might have been so much better if I hadn't spent so much time working for peanuts in security. I love skyscrapers, and would like nothing more than to join the engineering staff of one.
It's different in San Francisco all you have to do is take an exam and then the city and county let you do a four-year internship which every 6 months your pay go up until you get to 95 thousand a year
I'm trying to get into local 39 now, is there any advice on how to get in, I have 15 years in maintenance, I would rather work in a commercial building instead of a hospital.
Hey guys i'm 25 and i hold a mechanical engineering degree & refrigeration license. This upcoming December i will satisfy my 1 year plant experience. I'm looking for study material for the high pressure license wirtten exam. Any help/tips would be much appreciated !
You are a mechanical engineer you know how to get answers like this. What state are you talking about? Maryland gives a list of books on a website I don't know what your state does.
Someone I work with just told me about this, do you have any more info about it? Seems good to get into, like a good salary and everything. My friend said they mainly sit around on the job and do do very much but its long hours
I will Be retiring as a stationary engineer for NYC it’s a great job and it has a super pay check. The last hiring pool only one person was hired because he’s the only one with a license. They are in serious need of engineers.
blackezi3 bro good question...i been trying to get into this but im a quit now...this seems like a closed circle type of job... I hate these types of jobs.
Since you're in Law enforcement in NYC, I'm sure you got some connects. Ask around. I'm in this apprenticeship, so I hope that can help me later on to be a Stationary Engineer
How many people went through all of the reading material? For Maryland I got the books they are like 5000 pages each. It would take years to go through all that material and know it. If that's the way everyone does it, I am reading and taking notes currently.
How does a normal Joe like me with no union connections get started? ive been a contractor for the DoE for the last 4 years, have gone to Honeywell to train on commercial gas leak detec systems, and have worked with boiler controls and all that. The salary is decent but i have to come out of my pocket for a lot of expenses, and i have no medical benefits or any of that. Im in my mid 30s no drugs and love to learn... It seems almost impossible to get into a situation where i can actually grow and send my kid to college. I dont even know where to start?
I’m a doorman/porter in a high-rise building looking to become a stationary engineer (similar to Khalil when he started out). My union (32BJ) offers courses and a building engineer track, including HVAC training and preparation for FDNY certs and exams (like refrigeration license). Would any of this training be relevant or count as experience for becoming a stationary engineer?
@@leanmachine3251 same here. I almost got caught up in the free, free, free thing of doing it with 32bj, but went to turner and put in the work. With 32bj, first it's doing electricity and plumbing basics to qualify for ac1, then it's 3 ac classes, then 3 license prep classes. That's about 2 1/2 years to even get to the written exam. With turner, I got to the written exam in 6 months, the practical exam in 8 months.
Hi, I'm handyman in a commercial building, I need some advice because I have my certificate of fitness of S12/13, F58 FDS W/ACT SHOOTER & MED EMER PREP, OSHA 30 HRS Construction and health, EPA UNIVERSAL and GPRO Fundamentals of Building Green and more certificates along those years in the field, but I need some direction where I can go and submit an application, for those building, I think this is a very close circle. But I keep my faith that the door will be open any time, any advice it will be appreciated. Thanks for for the video that really keep me thrive to my goal.

Anybody know if someone has similar experience in Canada as a stationary engineer, would it be easy to get a license in NYC?
Great video. If you went through a Plumber and HVAC 4 year apprenticeship, can this also help qualify for a High pressure boiler license?

Their program would take you three or four years minimum to get your license.
Go to turner trade school, the school is 6 months I was gonna go 32bj way but that’s too long. Pay the 4K it’s worth it
