If you're asking about the SPRU project with BHI I can comment:
KAPL will perform the security screening which means that you will receive an L-type screening. You need to be squeaky clean to get past these folks. Not every tech is able to do so.
It's bloody cold and you work primarily outside or in open rooms.
It's a decent outage season for contractors who prefer to get in and get out.
It's comparatively expensive to live there. I rented a remodeled 1200 sq ft home in Colonie for $1600 a month as was glad to find it.
FWIW I enjoyed working there. Great folks, plenty of work, and plenty of money. It's like any other job - it can be as interesting or as mindlessly monotonous as you make it. Practically the whole of US history is within a few hour's drive and there are a couple Italian bakeries in Albany that I miss every day.

Did he mention its cold, and most folks have to work outside and pee in a porta jon.
But other than all that its GREAT!

True! And those porta-jons are a whole new experience at -12 degrees.

not if you worked Rowe, MY or any one of half a dozen DnDs up north in January / February,...
but you know, when it's cold out, they don't smell quite so bad,...
unfortunately those portable sanitizer wash stands do not work so well in winter,...
and when the wind blows, you begin to appreciate all the frozen solid sand bags all over the bases,...
