I am a qualified electrician,have an ordinary degree in electrical engineering and a cert course in automation.
I have worked as an e&I technician for the last five years. I done a lot of travel nationality for this job.sometimes more driving than work.
There wasn't alot of electrical work in job,more calibration and verification work.I finish up soon and start a new job with local authority as a caretaker in water services.
But in August I applied for a job in a medical device company twenty mins from my house.mon-fri 8-4.30. I got offered job and didn't except it as I have this thing off that I don't have enough experience and talk myself out of it. I believe I don't have enough experience from last role as not much electrical in it.
Travel got to me and local authority job came up. I got it and took it. Taking large 7k pay drop.
Local authority is secure,I have young kids so I need to be earning, but I know it'll be not very interesting, 8-2.30, six days a week.
Factory job is back up again,mon to Fri not as big a drop about 4k. So I wonder why is it up again, is there a reason or are they just hiring more.
My question is what job? Is it bad form to message factory HR and inquire if it new position or role I had previously applied for?
A local authority water caretaker - have you heard anything about transfer of staff to the single public utility aka Irish Water. Staff were to be transferred by July 2021 but that timeframe was never going to be met.
Transfer to Irish Water could be a good or bad thing depending on your perspective. I would have thought that an electrician with instrumentation and water experience would be someone who would be valued by Irish Water but not sure.
