You get NMW in your second year.
If i can find another job like it ill be over the moon.
Was on far more than most i trained with so maybe
I'll go back to being an apprentice for a grand a week.
Think they might frown on a forty year old turning up for that job though
U would hate being an apprentice now, Too much logbook work, Assessments etc
Think you'll struggle! Most fully qualified engineers I work with in oil and gas aren't on that much!
Yep im aware
Controls and instrumentation are highly paid in the right areas.. Thinking of uni right now i wanted to go anyhow to specialise in controls or look into PID abit more as i enjoyed my training in that also. I didn't want to leave my job and take a paycut to go to university but now with no job university is looking more appealing
Do you get paid to fill in the logbooks and do the assessments?
Assessments yes but if its not on site and its on training center site i only get paid retainer for the day, Logbook work no thats on my own time unfortunately
Update: Offered a job with hitachi zosen inova today with the opportunity to complete my apprenticeship. Good news is good
Sounds like good news
unless you had decided to do uni
Yep, sounds awful that £1000 p/w
Does a fully qualified Controls & Instrumentation Technician **** money for a living then?
In fact, going by that, you actually earn more money than some of the IP Attorneys that work in my firm. Impressive stuff!
Its probably a temp job to get my qualification not sure if id stay time will tell.
Yeah they seem to earn a lot of money the ones who i used to work with had abit too much cash, Some also had there own businesses and property all over the uk too. I wouldn't like to estimate there money tbh
Probably why your company has had to lay some of you off! I have a strange feeling that at some point, somewhere a union has been involved in this...
My current company is an example of insane union interference and fear.
I get paid 0 overtime no matter how many hours I do. Techs under the union get 1.5 time on weekdays, double weekends, triple on holidays.
I get nothing extra for working in adverse weather. They get an extra £20.00 per day for working in winds above 20mph or rain of more than 0.5cm.
I get offshore allowances and overseas allowances. They get at least double what I get, in some cases triple (working in Nigeria for example I get an extra £250 per day, they get £500)
Had a bloke last year whose base salary is £25k. He took home over £80k as a result of all the extra allowances and overtime techs can get.
Glad you managed to find a new job though!
a lot of these base salarys are low ish but they get bonuses of 1-3k per job on time etc and if its early it got bigger. Extra for working more than 30 miles from your house ( i got that all the time ) Extra when it was below 0 and extreme heat, Etc so yeah ur sorta correct unions have had to fight for a lot of these for our guys also.
