know any female plumbers wanting some work experience?

[MP plumb]

hi,

Could possibly do with a female plumber, either with knowledge of plumbing and heating or going through college that wants some work experience/ future job in the essex, london area.

Obviously its mainly guys on here, so if your daughters fancy it, let me know!!

My lass left school at 16 (much to my protests but it was a stupid boyfriend thing where i couldn't talk sense into her) and floated about for a bit in dead end jobs. I offered to give her a job with me and train her as a gas technician (plumbing is not really a job i would want a woman to do especially my daughter, and there is nothing sexist about that, just experience) doing service and repair. I would even set up a part of the business doing just that for her benefit but she wouldn't take it up.
6 years down the line and the boyfriend is binned and she has recently been laid off from her "dream" job and i was having the same conversation with her last week. She still isn't biting but that is her choice.
Btw Claire i admire you for getting into this trade but hope you have your eyes open to how it will affect you and your body in later life.

On a side note regarding pairs

Claire, you have proberbly seen this but if not have alook here We provide a full range domestic plumbing service to the home owner or landlord in Kent & London.

 

[dancinplumba]

they are not even good looking

bet they would say the same about you

 

[MP plumb]

safegasinstall....you aint seen me tho! i may have long blonde hair wif blue eyes but i cant be that bad if ive got jobs every day, all day long, hey?!!
dancinplumba is right, u prob aint a pretty pic urself but whos shallow enough to care what some one looks like if they can do the job?
tamz, i done 3 years at college doing my nvq3 and asc, then went on to do a BTEC in construction for 2 years, i worked on site the whole time in upper end domestic buildings all in london, i am gas safe, and i am currently finishing my HNC in construction after another 2 years. ive now gone self employed and i loveeeee itttt!!!

its hard work, but no harder than any other person in the plumbing business so tell ur daughter to go for it it was never my dream job to become a plumber! but sitting at an office all day done my head in.
dont force ur daughter but remind her she may well surpise herself once she gets into it, like i did.

site work can be hard with some of the other workers, but if she can take the mikki out of herself, she will be fine! x
btw, I'm 24, so tell her to get cracking!

Claire, you have proberbly seen this but if not have alook here We provide a full range domestic plumbing service to the home owner or landlord in Kent & London.

yes, i done my research! i contacted them before i went self employed. they didnt/dont advertise being gas safe, which i am, so i thought id try self employed first.....and man, am i glad i did!

 

[ecowarm]

If you can stick it on site and give banter back, your one of the lads? so to speak? well you know what I mean. lol

 

[MP plumb]

dont worry ecowarm, ive already been told off for language!naughty naughty!

being on site makes you realise how petty girls can be normally and i had to 'man up' a bit when i first went on site at 16! cant keep going home crying every day!! haha .... booo hhooooooo

blokes banter is different to girls banter, but i prefer it now! at least u guys say what you think and i can say it back without some one getting upset! x

 

[tamz]

Well done you Claire.
I admire you for having the bottle to go for it in what is essentially a mans world. You are young and fit so doing this job is probably easy enopugh for you now but think 10 and 20 or even 30 years down the line. Is this something you want to be doing then, climbing in attics , crawling under floorboards, digging out blocked drains? You seem a switched on lass so evolve your work as you age. You can still chase the money but be selective :wink:
Your HNC will probably be no use to you, especially as it is in construction (i did that one too many moons ago) but it depends what direction you move in.
As for my lass, she has just received conformation today that she has secured a collage placement starting August for social work. What that really means is her dad has to keep her for another 3 years! It would have been so much easier to give her a job with just as good prospects and she could have taken over when i rap it in but she will do her own thing and i will back her up regardless,

 

[dancinplumba]

mans world, not for long, carnt see a problem, more and more women doing plumbing. think derogatory remarks should be deleted, those made by anyone even ta's and the advice we give should be the same for both sexes
imho
