Gas Safe Tech Suoport Officer

[alter ego]

I have an interview for the above job.
Does anyone know:

The wages!
Anyone doing it - are they happy?
It is a 90 minute interview - which sounds hard work - anyone been through it?
It can be home based - do they supply internet etc?

I know I should phone and ask the contact for these details, but I am never sure how that comes over.

Cheers

Sick pays a pipe dream these days. I did go to the yard this morning to collect some bits from the stores. New core bits, long sds bits, spade bits, solder, flux, gas, heat mats. I do like that part of it!

Kirk does it. The wages are decent afaik.
Easier than working for a living if you can put up with the numpty calls.

Don't you just get the generic line....your the engineer on the ground and it's down to your judgement!

How true is that ? its there answer to everything or you get its a bit of a grey area you decide

I've never said "use your engineering judgement" on the phone,

You have to be able to spell support, don't bother turning up for the interview, you have failed,

Can I have your direct line, the last guy I spoke to was awkward and actually blooming rude!

Have you ever said "it's a bit of a grey area..."

 

[kirkgas]

It's never a grey area, it's just hard for some people to get their head round a fact, especially when two are arguing and the one who phones in is wrong haha

I don't think it's appropriate for me to make too many comments on this, what I will say is I do the job, I love doing it, I love working from home, I love having an hour for my lunch (it isn't paid, don't think anyone gets paid for lunch)
What I will say is the job won't suit everyone, and you can be home based or work from Basingstoke office, all equipment, Internet and phone line are supplied.

Glad you're enjoying it mate. Long may it continue.

Sometimes, if I'm reeeeally bored sitting in the van waiting for gear to turn up, I'll ring up and ask the most obscure question I can think of. Just coz I can.

I bet you ask
"Why has NCS gone away" or "I'm doing a cp12 Theres no CO alarm, what will I do"

Humour me for a minute if you will kirk, what's the correct separation distance between two vertical selkirk roof terminals one a gas fire & one a oil rayburn?
