Soldato
So right now I'm 33 and working as a control room operator for a large logistics company. I don't know what it is like in other firms, but here, its not a great environment. Everything is our fault, they break the machines (by running it outside of spec) its our fault, transport don't have enough drivers, our fault.
The good side, is I am basically a multiskilled tech ninja. I run SCADA (controls the machinery), assign work to the engineers and drivers, look after the shop floor IT hardware, and anything else no one wants to claim responsibility for.
Theres no movement though. My team is small (8 staff for 24/7 cover) and we don't have a supervisor or manager. We organise our own holidays and overtime, and only really interact with the engineering manager when we need things authorising. So I need a career change.
Ive recently been tasked with rebuilding and automating everything we do with Excel and I am in my element. It's a lot of VBA but I already had a basic knowledge of programming. Is VBA developer a thing? Can I get into something like that without qualifications?
