Industrial Maintenance Electrician. Turn up at 8, gone by 4. Earn a bloody fortune compared to mechanical engineers.
Z-tech is one such firm based down here.
Oh yeah. But that’s why it’s better to be one of them. They don’t lift a bloody finger on the Sites I’ve been on and they were paid much better than us lowly spanner monkeys and welders.Only problem with most industrial maintenance electricians is I can do thier job they cant do mine.
At the moment I'm discussing with people my parents know and I know who do each job (agricaultrual / plant engineering and maintenance engineering) I am also trying to get a bit more work experience in each job role, however, this is difficult due to covid. So at the moment I'm still at trying to decide. I might be swaying more towards the agricultural engineering. But I'm not sure why. It might be because I've seen that during this pandemic agriculture has carried on as normal, and all these top companies that youd want an apprenticeship with seem to not cope very well. E.g Airbus.So Jack any more thoughts ideas?
My neighbour started in agricultural and then moved to HGVs then cranes then concrete pumps and now he fixes theseThere’s many facets to working in agriculture. You can drive for a bit of extra cash in the summer, move over to construction, plant maintenance, hydraulics etc.
Not a bad game to be in.
would of liked to do something like that myself, I like to be outside.
Told you that you can do a week with me. Put you off plant maintenance forever.At the moment I'm discussing with people my parents know and I know who do each job (agricaultrual / plant engineering and maintenance engineering) I am also trying to get a bit more work experience in each job role, however, this is difficult due to covid.

But I still am not sure. Good bits too both.
Yeah I know, we will have sort something out when were your allowed to. I'll Come and play in the sawdust and nails.Told you that you can do a week with me. Put you off plant maintenance forever.
My idea if I trained in agriculture, would be to diversify into plant.My advice, stay away from agriculture. Everything needs to be done yesterday, for 20 quid, with the cheapest possible equipment. You’ll go a lot further with maintenance engineering
Would you look at moving? JCB have their own college I believe, might be a good optionMy idea if I trained in agriculture, would be to diversify into plant.
If I want to go to collage near me the course that best fits plant is the agricultural engineering.Can you not go straight to plant?
Where I live jcb have s factory 15mins down the road one way and a dealership 10mins the other way. The problem is I know about 3 people who work for them and they've all said they're rubbish to work for. However their is another local firm that does jcb, Massey fergusson and Fent, they're one of the places I'm looking at for work experience and maybe a job. Also most places that have heavy plant just have few people in Van's going round repairing and servicing them so not many take on apprentices, they want you to have a few years experience and they definitely want you to already have qualifications.Would you look at moving?

What you possibly don't see or hear about in the news is food and Pharma plants are running flat out, many have drastically changed the way they work but still have to run.But I'm not sure why. It might be because I've seen that during this pandemic agriculture has carried on as normal, and all these top companies that youd want an apprenticeship with seem to not cope very well. E.g Airbus.
