What does everybody do here?

I'm a CLAS consultant, have been for about 3 years now. There's nothing I don't like about my job, apart from not being able to tell people what I do.
 
I'm a Mechanical Design Engineer (team lead) at a very interesting engineering firm in Sussex. Full on-site manufacturing operation, lots of prototypes and one-offs as well as batch production. Based in electromagnetic physics, I work in research/pre-clinical and clinical MRI, but we also do supercon & resistive electromagnets and work on big physics projects such as the LHC.

Sounds like a thread winner.
 
So how often do you jimmy the results of your models and surveys so that the developers don't get blamed for messing up or overloading existing transport arteries?

Whatever "jimmying" we do to the model is presented in the outputs that get submitted to the council (and for the public to see). Usually a medium sized development of a few hundred houses onto an arterial route has minor vehicle generation (especially when distributed) compared to the vehicles that are already on the road and it shouldn't (and isn't, under current policy) be a developer's job to fix an existing issue that they're making congestion 5% worse.
 
Recruitment advertising sales for the biggest regional newspaper group in the country (I don't handle our nationals). Not an amazing job, but at least it's B2B and inbound. It also has been very helpful for if I ever decide to look for a new job!
 
Project Manager, currently in energy (transmission networks construction). Team I work in looks after connecting wind farms to the grid so new substation builds (33kV and up), upgrades to existing subs, cables and OHL etc.
 
Program manager in a contact centre for a bank. We do commercial solutions rather than consumer though. I'm mainly client facing rather then agent facing and get to work on my own projects most of the time :)
