I would leave this job tomorrow and my ideal occupation to go in to, ............. Gigolo , get in !!!!

 

[Ray Stafford]

The money just don't seem be a good payer now....got a nice big tax bill to pay to boot ..... when did this game become so carp?

If there is no money in it, how come the big tax bill? Not having a pop, just asking?

That's why I moved to transco. On the books pays ok and not slogging it out fighting for jobs. Easy work and I'm quite enjoying it at the no.
Secure job too

How did you get in with transco mate?

How did you get in with transco mate?

Was thinking same. Can't get a foot in without experience of meters usually?

 

[Ermintrude]

Try a subby first doing perge and relights or re runs. Money ok and they get u met 1

I went in with CCN1 and all appliances. Obviously appliances don't matter here,they put you through everything you need including MET4,ESP and all sorts of SHEA Gas.
I had no experience with meters although had MET1,we don't do an awful lot of metering now,just the emergency stuff like snapped test points etc. And that is only best endeavour as the supplier has a contract with us and if I don't have a meter then I pass it back after making safe. ETM's I normally back heel straight away too. Purge and relights normally follow after a mains replacement with is subbied out. Companies such as Gas LTD have contracts for this and their engineers move across when jobs are available. We do some purges but only after emergency work after a leaking service had been relaid or similar,or out if hours if the customer has been at work.
Id say I'm on about 38k on the books which is fine by me for a secure job,not much strenuous activity. The downside (there always is) is the shift work and ridiculous calls at 3 in the morn which we obv have to attend. The shifts work for me as I see more of the bairns on the late shift.
Hope this helps.
