Work experience in Summer

[WHPES]

I may have a large sprinkler system job coming up during the summer and if it works out I may be able to take a youngster on to do some of the gophering. I won't be able to pay you a lot as there probably isn't much useful work for you to do other than a bit of labouring and putting threads on the odd steel pipe, but you would get lots of experience in design, installation, maintenance and operation of sprinkler systems. Would probably suit school leaver / fresh apprentice. Must be keen and serious about plumbing career - I don't have patience with timewasters.

Location: Ryedale, N Yorks. Duration approx 2 weeks (if it happens).

THWACK!! Dontknowitall - HONESTLY!!!

good offer for somebody, is there much work for sprinkler systems?

 

[WHPES]

Bit quiet on that front at the moment as workshops / warehouses / factories / retailers are not having much alteration or refurbshment work done at the moment due to the recession. The job will be for a unit which is being turned into a car showroom with workshop and spray booth etc.

Good offer. Sure you'll get some responses.

All the posts on here from people wanting experience and working for free and nobody was interested, what a crock.

I think the wannabees want to wake up and smell the coffee!

I am Shocked to say the least!!! Thought they would be queing round the corner!

Today's school leavers expect everything to be handed to them on a plate. Items to include free travel, free tools, free education, free computer, free computer games, free mobile phone, free spoon so they can be fed, free days off, etc, etc.

I generalise of course but I'm really surprised with this total lack of response for WHPES. Quite shaming really.

he didnt ask again
