Thanks kieranb07 seen this one .
I was wondering about the new camera van operators .

trad

First round interviews were in July, I'd say you are a bit late.

thundercatgary

Thanks ,
I was watching out for ads but missed them.

trad

There was only one ad that I saw, I applied when the contract was announced last year.

thundercatgary

What was the money and hours like trad

trad

5 over 7 days and they were talking €25k to €30k. A lot of evening and weekend work. Being filled mostly by retiring Gardai so expect a lot of new positions when they see what €25k is worth after paying 42% tax on the full amount (tax credits gone on their pensions).

thundercatgary

Hopefully a position might come up . Do you know if training has started
and when the intend to come in to operation.

trad

Still waiting to hear.

thundercatgary

that was quick,
I believe theres going to be a bit of movement on the jobs over the next few weeks.

Trad was the add in a national news paper

trad

The one I saw was on www.irishjobs.ie. Give them a ring in Listowel, although the HR mamanger works in Kilkenny. The worse they can do is say no.

thundercatgary

Thanks trad

did u get the job

trad

Heard nothing so far. Staying put where I am, going into management shortly, the devil you know and all that.

trad

Good luck with the job. I'd stop contributing to work related posts here, you'd never know who's reading them (probation period and all that)

gunners89

yeah ur right,cheers

thundercatgary

If you are worried about big brother please sent me a private mail.
thanks

It appears to me that GO safe have been advertising jobs for the sake
of appearing to advertise them. I know a number of people who applied
for positions and who have experence in this area and heard nothing.
It looks like the majority of the jobs are going to people in the know
and retired Gardai .

doolox

So not only do the Gardai get to retire earlier than the average but also get a nice "earner" to tide them over.

I have already seen the results of this new policy with people crowded on top of each other on the M1 afraid to move with the inner lane doing 119 kph outer lane doing 120kph all clumped together, tailgating and weaving in and out dangerously close to each other waiting for a pileup to happen.

With no latitude to get out of such dangerous clumps by briefly putting on a burst of speed I have to do the opposite and slow down to 110/105 kph and let the herd past me.

I have no intention of going up to the speed limit and remaining stuck in a clump of weaving, tailgaters on any of our roads.

I also have no intention of giving money to this corrupt shower of wasters which masquerade as a "government".

Speeding fines are a tax on carelessness.

I applied for a Camera operators job that was advertised on irish jobs .ie .
I was then told a number of weeks later that the dont have any vacancy,s in the county the advertised for. It did give me the impression
the positions in that county were filled before the were advertised .

happy hamster

I left go safe a while ago because the money is crap, the hours are crap, the conditions are crap and the management won't run a piss up in a brewery.

1:- was told 30k but what you get is 10.05 per hour which is 21k.

2:- hours are as follows 8am to 4pm, 2pm to 10pm, 8pm to 4am and 2am to 10am. one of the lads that started with me has'nt had a weekend off since last oct.

3:- the companies idea of the operators safety is a joke. the won,t tell us about any attacks on vans because if we don't know, we can't complain and won't put simple security items on the vans because 'they are looking into it'!!

4:- so far as i can make out about 25 drivers have left the job because of these issues.

SO PLEASE IF YOU OR ANYONE YOU KNOW GETS OFFERED THESE JOBS DO NOT TAKE THEM.

I have nothing lined up yet but I could not wait to get away from them.

trad

Glad I dodged that bullet.

I fould it odd during interview when I posed some questions about the operation of the contract neither of the interviewers had a breeze.

Safety on vans would be a major issue especially around the border area
Where certain organizations in that area are very paranoid of been watched.

I got the impression management weren’t up to scratch when I seen
badly put together job adverts. They seem to be making it up as the go along.

can any one tell me if the got a job with gosafe. and that they are not a retired garda or a relation of a garda . (send me a private message) .
just so i know if i am wasting my time with them.

I would'nt mind the hours ,D'ont like the money €21,000

thanks tcg

10 euro an hour to sit in a van and do nothing? sounds grand to me at a time when its hard to find jobs.

The money from speeding fines is still paid to the State - Go Safe don't see a penny of it.

Interesting topic.

You'd have thought the operator of such a licence would have had their **** together.

The hourly rate does seem very low, when DCC's parking gestapo earn much more an hour.

the wallet

yeah ye would think go safe would look after lads,cos its gonna be very hard for them to get drivers with all these attacks going on,with the bad hrs,bad money,and risks i cant see any driver this time next year being able to speak english in the place if u know what i mean.
