Emily Lindl is part of the Steamfitter’s union Local 601 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. For almost a decade prior, Emily worked as a Flight Attendant for Midwest Airlines.

In this episode, Emily shares how at the age of 30 she began a whole new career in the male dominated field of steamfitting.

*Note: A steamfitter works on and installs heating, cooling, gas, and process piping. In layman's terms, a steamfitter's main goal is to make sure whatever's flowing through the pipes keeps on flowing. Emily works with pipe made of stainless steel, carbon steel, copper, brass, pvc, cpvc, and poly propylene to name a few. She knows how to cut and bond all these materials and her favorite material to work with is copper. Emily's favorite offset to design is a 45 degree offset which helps with what’s known as the pressure drop.
