  1. personally id expect to hit the ground running on day 2, day one pick up van meet the rest of the crew see what procedures they have in place etc then out on the road while 26k isnt much in real terms its at the top end of the scale so you should have someone decent who knows his **** from his elbow
  2. nope therapist said i was normal gp said otherwise the same gp who drinks and smokes and tells all his patients its bad for them,strange man
  3. what puzzles me is when a mod logs off to go for a piss some random ***** pops up mod logs back on and is first to comment...just saying like
  4. lol the quacking duck panel,they were quite good tbh
  5. but would you be happy with taking no for an answer you wouldnt,personally id tell them that call maybe required at times of holidays/sickness etc at least they know they might have to chip in rather than a i dont do call stance
  6. In larger co's maybe but rds has stated they are a small local co and if you offer the promise of no call and your needed and refuse that will cause friction in a smaller co id expect everyone to chip in when and where needed want to work to rules and your t&cs join a national
  7. while no call will appeal to some how much overtime/bonus/reward scheme etc thats what most will want to know id guess
  8. Was asked the same i declined,they wouldn't pay what i asked for and the additional for my soul was way off the mark
  9. for just an installer maybe but its a foreman role so should be 40k ish imo,rates are too low man thats why people struggle to find good men as has been said over and over in posts
  10. you wont get it,not at 26k give or take a few k,your looking for an old fashioned foreman now thats right up my street but not at those prices
  11. depends on codes,if a code creates a revisit all is fine then its all in the wording and service engineers have their own shorthand which means something only to them most of the time,discon door as new door being fitted is different to discon as door being blocked off for eg
  12. discon should create a follow on call,remove should close it down
  13. the ecs card is more relevant to our industry https://www.ecscard.org.uk/cards_cardtypes.aspx
  14. most here are the illuminated signage kind saves on the street lamps
  15. im surprised,i know a lad who worked for a house bashing co doing installs for major builders he was racking the money in doing 3 and 4 first and second fixes a day tho people would rather upgrade the kitchen than have an alarm i agree
  16. all these new build housing estates have a dedicated mcb from the db from what ive seen you pay extra for 1st fix and extra again it you want a system installed by the builder
  17. i doubt anyone does that,most alarm engineers dont have the gear nevermind knowing what type of supply or earthing arrangement is coming into a building,best to get a spark into do it saves the hassle
  18. im not any different bar the fact im a bit sadder that most and find the little things make a difference, i would draw the line at a bippa
  19. it does like doing the job for 20 yrs plus without any problems
  20. but you would need gr to get to the goal your looking for,what makes an alarm eng today?
  21. i disagree on gr ,tho the am2 alarm version could work as a pointer to competence
  22. if the industry wants to be qualified it has to allow grandfather rights to get to its goal then move on,like ive said you cant lock people out of an industry that never needed any qualification to join in the first place,if people think that by passing a simple test is gonna make it all pro in a couple of weeks are sadly mistaken,it will take around 20 yrs imo to get it a real trade where everyone as the same minimum quals but it will be dead by then
  23. famous for what
