forest of dean redneck 11,830 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Just stay away from Beko or you might end up setting folks houses on fire. Our tumble driers Hoover or hotpoint and it's one of the affected ones and had a modified back plate put in it.so it's not just beko. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel cain 46,923 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Just go self employed ow- you can pick and choose when/how much work a week you want to do then.the only reason I took a job with a salary was to shut the wife up and to watch my little uns grow up.you will earn big coin if you don't mind working away.I would work for average 9 months of the year and the rest out with the dogs (that I do miss mind,but wouldn't change back as I missed the first 3 yrs of my oldest lad growing up.)You soon get pissed off working as a service engineer mate,try Clarkson and Evans sparkys they do the contracts on most of the big housing sites in wales .atb dc 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I nearly took a job with them around the time I started on the roads. If I'm not mistaken they come under indesit. That's who my correspondence was with. I will try to find the emails. It was £28k salaried. I can't remember what the hours were and there was alot of weekend work.

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 If you fancy the field service engineer side then have a look at the casino industry. I did it for 3 years and thoroughly enjoyed it. Equipment is a doddle to fix it you're electrically and electronically minded, decent pay and a nice clean atmosphere. But again lots of evening and weekend work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shepp 2,285 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 I think the best job for sparks these days is maintenance work, but a must is to get with a company that does electrical and mechanical. Get qualified as a spark and working experience with A/C heating and plumbing. This will give a very good income and you can get a static job when older so you won't be breaking your back up till retirement. Last week went over from self employed installation spark to a static job doing maintenance. At 46 I decided that if I wait until I am in my 50's I might not get the opportunity to make the move. I took a cut in money but I will have half the work load and a much more pleasant environment to work in. If I had working mechanical knowledge, then I could have got a similar job but would have been paid an extra £8,000 a year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
