Not 100% sure if this'll fit in here, but hopefully.I'm looking to move companies and have an offer on the table from a local company, which I feel is a low offer in regards to salary.
I don't expect the world, but would be interested in a ball park figure that people feel might be right, basically I want to make sure I'm not looking at a pipe dream but also being reasonable.
A difficult one to judge I'm sure but thought I'd ask.I have my unvented ticket, my CCN1 gas and Analyser, water regs, City & Guilds level 2 and 3.My general workload includes bathroom fitting, be it wet rooms or a top end fit out.
I also have a lot of expirence of installing Oil and Natural Gas boilers. General plumbing maintance on the heating system or household plumbing is fine.All my expirence is domestic based.I know the backgrounds of renewables - Solar hot water, ground and air source heat pumps and we maintain a couple as a company but it's never brought much business our way.I'm relatively new to the plumbing and heating industry with only ~5 years under my belt.
I know that this will count against me. I also know that my expirence of diagnosing boiler breakdowns is quite limited, so it's this that I'll need to buck up on.I've an offer from a local firm who mainly specialise in boilers and general maintance.
They seem to outsource bathrooms.With this is mind, I believe that my bathroom fitting expirence maybe doesn't mean as much to them, so not being worth paying extra for. I've fitted a few bathrooms, an unvented cylinder and full from scratch central heating system off my own back, so I'm quite confident, it's just making this clear as I currently always work in a small group due to the small numbers of the company.
So, is that anywhere near enough information to go on to hazard a rough salary guess from would be employers, or can I provide more to aid?
What do you pay your apprentice for level 2, then level 3, then Gas qualified qualification steps?
I'm no longer an apprentice, so the next step up money wise would hopefully be.....?
