Have a job thats frustrating as hell.
Its a small company with a money hungry management. Youre assigned a number of jobs per day and generally 1-2 hours/job to complete.
These can be anything, from tap installs to boiler breakdowns, GSI, and servicing.
You are required to update the office at every single step. If a job takes longer, thats fine as long as you let them know, however youre expected to still complete all jobs for that day. Driving from a job to the next takes between 20-45 min as its in London so regardless if its 3 miles or 15, it might take the same.
Theyre 110% focused on the ££ and ride you til you drop.
Is this the life of a field service engineer? Only worked on big sites until 2 weeks ago, doing regular installs on my own pace. Love the service engineer stuff, much more interesting and challenging, but these complete knobs are ruining it by taking away any sort of flexibility that this kind of field work requires, they ride your back and rush you, without any understanding towards your situation.
I need some thoughts from you guys. Whats your daily routine for field work based jobs.
PS since I started I become Lewis Hamilton, can eat my sandwich while overtaking the police chasing a burglary suspect, can have a little break while looking for a spot and speed up and fly through width restriction bollards, cant slow down and go through like a normal person because I lose my pace and besides its unprofessional to have the client waiting.
