sold Maintenance Electrician Position Required.

[MoparKevUk]

Anything going chaps?

27 yrs experience working for Global Telecommunications PLC. Maintaining, fault finding and repairing Operational Power Equipment. Incoming mains and AC generators up to 1 MegaWatt. DC power systems from 100amp end of suite rack mounted to 1200amp centralised plant. UPS systems. Aircon; modular, centralised and portable including water treatment on open cooling towers. All small power and lighting. Anything that had 230v, I fixed it. Working within a team and autonomously. CV on request.

Queensland Electrical Mechanic ticket, as well as Blue card and CPR.

(Thought I'd give it a go here, I'm on Seek, CareerOne, MyCareer, ReadyWorkForce, Transfield, Telstra, Powerware, etc, etc, doesn't do any harm, eh?)

[faulked]

i am amazed work is that hard to find you would appear to have lots of experience under your belt

is house hold power and ac below your standard or would you do that sort of stuff too as ac is BIG here for the obvious reasons

and do you have your own tools and transport "sry had to ask the standard questions"

[MoparKevUk]

AC would be no problem, but that is another licence! This Electrical Ticket has cost me nearly $2000......I've only been job hunting for 6 days so something WILL turn up, I advertised here as another option. The majority of maintenance positions seem to be in the food industry around here (Southside). Another 7 jobs recommended on Seek this morning, better get on it!

Horses for courses cheers good luck kev

[Do$tylz]

hey kev,

do you do private, residential leccy jobs??

[MoparKevUk]

I come from an industrial maintenance background, but depending on the job (rewires and repair preferred) I'll tackle most things. Not really into wiring installation work though, ie extra sockets, lighting points etc. I can fix anything......(within reason)

unfortunately, positions like that now require either dual trades or special management courses.

Been told only subbies are getting canned. If ya work for them directly you're safe

[ellicat]

They're getting rid of staff too.

However, most maintenance staff will always be required until after a mine is shut.

Days off during the week are restricted as I'll be picking me boy up from school.....When the Missus is off should be fine, especially now I've taken me Valiant off of Special Interest Vehicle Rego and can use it all the time.

1970 Valiant VG 4 dr Sedan. A bit of an ugly step down from my '67 UK import Valiant VE 4 dr sedan, but it was in my price range, and good to go. Just has a 245 Hemi at the moment, great for cruising and economy, and the odd traffic light drag, got an extractor, 'leccy ignition and dibs on a 2 barrel inlet and carby to spice it up a bit, then in the future a stroker 360 should be the go in front of my Strange built Dana axle and race 727 box that I brought over....

Little bitty 318 and a shot of drugs it went 11.72. Driven to the track and back.

They officially imported about 60 VEs in late '69. All were VIPs with 273s. I've got a pic somewhere of 3 sedans and a wagon. Most VEs in the UK together for a while! I had spares from about 5 different ones. There are probably about 8 left over there, not including mine that I cut up and scrapped.......
