Dear Engineer,

Firstly, I hope you do not mind us contacting you in this manner.

We are a specialist Gas agency based in Aylesbury , UK . We cover nationwide and are currently recruiting in your area for some long term servicing workdue to last until April 2014 with a possibility of extension & would like to know if you would possibly be interested in this work.

I have put a few basic details about the job, if you feel this may be something that interests you we would be happy to discuss in greater detail.

Orion Electrotech are seeking experienced self employed service engineers, to cover an ongoing contract on behalf of a leading supplier for private customers. 8-10 services will be booked in daily with a possibility of requesting more should you find you have the time!

Servicing pay: -

ü £18/boiler
ü £9/fire
ü £6.75 any other appliance
ü +Monthly Bonuses

This is an exciting opportunity that can not only offer you longevity of work, but also consistency.

Some do but usually not for long which is why they struggle to get guys to work for them. You can imagine the quality of the trainers needed to run around the houses.

I have literally just received the same email and thought exactly the same, infact I didn't even bother working out what you could potentially earn in a day.....

 

[Reg Man]

Yawn Yawn Yawn Your having a laugh.

 

[Toxic Ted]

So what do you think the desk drivers are putting on that ?

 

[tamz]

Probably not as much as you think. They will have priced it low to win the work. Probably HA stuff.

saw a work note from dyno rod today, they had turned out to look at a dripping tap, not an emergency leak as not leaking to replace unrepairable taps! £90 plus vat plus parts, note to self, review pricing structure asap

Shifted this thread off the public forum because of the title.

Good god I could barely buy a packet of smokes for the service price on the gas fire. Guessing this is one of those ''dont call me because i wont call you either ones''

Email them back tell em your interested let them line up a load of work then on the morning your due to start tell you've had a better job offer selling the big issue
I like having fun with these people ppi companies and no win no fee crooks are the best.
I usually ad-lib a ludicrous story then tell them to talk to my PA on 07767 113738 which is another ppi company.
Unfortunately they've stopped calling me :-(

Sorry John......meant to put it on the privete gsr

 

[buckley plumb]

you could never remove and re fit and test a fire for that price

 

[tamz]

Anyone who is doing work for this price is off their heads. They must be cutting corners to do them and are also taking all the responsibility. Should anything happen it is their name on the paperwork and the main contractor will wash their hands of it.
