What sector are you in? A know a couple of companies hiring in IT or telecoms. Try the usual ones - irishjobs monster etc. Or send me a PM.

I'm an electrician,but with plenty of mechanical experience(lifts/escalators),could consider a change from that though

I'm in a similar industry. I usually just end up doing a search on Irish jobs for service engineer or technical support or the like. Try doing a service for mechanical, medical devices or any other generic words that may link to service engineer jobs.

I have worked as a Service Engineer in Medical Diagnostics and Nuclear medicine for the last 12 years. It certainly has job security and pays ridiculously well plus always comes with a fully expensed car or allowance, as a result is very very difficult to get your foot through the door. I basically worked in England but as with most of the big companies the UK also cover Ireland.

I have worked on Pathology and immunoassay Analysers, Haematology Analysers, X-ray, NMRI and Nuclear Medicine (Linear Accelerator and Gamma Blade)

The only thing is its not 9-5 job, a lot of it is 24 hrs on call and work on the weekends. But in order to get the reliability from staff to attend the OT is ludicrously good.

what qualifications did you get need for that job m8?

Well I have a list the length of my arm now, but I graduated with a degree in Elect/Electronic Engineering back in '97 and my first job was Servicing Colour photocopiers.

Sort of just progressed from that.

Don't forget the stress involved. It can be a very stressful job and you'll spend a lot of time away from home (if its anything like our engineers).

Yeah I earn enough QANTAS frequent flyer points on flights, hotels & Amex to get 2 return BC flights from Sydney to Europe every 2 years.

Plus you have to make sure you don't F**k up, some of that stuff cost millions and spare parts for them is stupid money.
