Looking for two trainee plumbers for 13 week EU scheme in Seville

[coopermartin]

Hi all,

I run a scheme (Red Ochre, Skills for Green Jobs) where where we send unemployed young people (under 30-ish) to volunteer in environmental organisations in Seville, Spain. They don't get paid, but they get everything (accomodation, bills, flights etc...) paid for.

We've had two people suddenly drop out in a solar plumbing company role. Its at a family run small business and they specialise in solar thermal, solar photovoltaic, under floor heating, energy efficient acclimatization and water heating for swimming pools.

So we're looking for two people who want to go to Seville on January 13th and learn more about this sort of plumbing. Its ideal for applicants looking to get into renewable energy/energy efficient acclimatization and to learn about installations. They'll gain hands on experience, working closely with the director and travelling to a number of different sites to see clients.

• You'll stay in a 3 person flat share with other volunteers in Seville.
• You'll have accommodation, flights, utility bills, insurance and language classes all paid for as well as 750 Euros contribution to food and leisure.
• You don't need to speak Spanish as the company speaks English (but you will learn Spanish).
• You'll have an induction week and be supported by a team whilst you're out there.

Because of the drop outs, we need applications ASAP. So if you or someone you know is interested, please post here and i'll get back to you with details.

By Thursday 13th please.

Many thanks and not sure on posting this as my first post but i've had no reason to go to a plumbing forum until now. I can't post urls but if you need more info please do email. Cheers,
Martin

Haha! Yeah i know what you mean. Wish there was something like this when i was in my early 20s. There's not really an age limit, but work is basic and will be a group of the yoot.

Hi everyone,

We've opened the final round for this scheme again. So if there are any trainee plumbers out there that want to get some experience whilst living and working in Seville, Spain - get in touch! It's a great opportunity and the other blokes on the plumbing placement have had a great time so far.

thanks.
