Gas Safe Tech Suoport Officer

[alter ego]

I have an interview for the above job.
Does anyone know:

The wages!
Anyone doing it - are they happy?
It is a 90 minute interview - which sounds hard work - anyone been through it?
It can be home based - do they supply internet etc?

I know I should phone and ask the contact for these details, but I am never sure how that comes over.

Cheers

Think its commision based for how many straight answers you give out.

So maybe OTE may be hard to achieve [emoji12]

I have no idea what the OTE is. I don't really want to attend an interview if the wages are really poor. On the other hand, I'm fed up with all the SE paperwork and grief. Maybe I'm meant to engineer a judgement:wink_smile:

That job would do my head in, I struggle to deal with people who are clearly stupid and in the wrong job.

I cant imagine some of the silly stupid phone calls they receive every day.

Obviously there get out is to send a link to the relevant regs/ tech buletin ect, so yes I am sure they will pay youre broadband.

I presume they run a sweep stake every week to bump,up their money. Most amount of stupid questions wins.

Personally.. perhaps this is just me, but I haven't memorized the entire ''gas safety, installation & use regs''

So I do occasionally like to get my £182.40 per year inc vat.. moneys worth via the handy tech support line.

Sometimes, if I'm reeeeally bored sitting in the van waiting for gear to turn up, I'll ring up and ask the most obscure question I can think of. Just coz I can.

 

[TFGplumbing]

I rung them about a year ago, damn expensive phone rate that..

Don't you just get the generic line....your the engineer on the ground and it's down to your judgement!

Not on a company phone it ain't!

damn boys on the firm... lol 🙂

I gave up phoning gas safe a few years back. Never got a straight answer always up to my judgement. I was tempted to phone up with a simple question just to see what the answer was.

Paid lunch and sick pay!

 

[Millsy 82]

Sick pay?!?! I never got that with any company I worked for. Only statutory which may of not bothered!

 

[TFGplumbing]

Paid lunch and sick pay!

I remember it well, took a lunch break one time.. fell asleep till 3pm.. hours work then back on the yard by 4:30... home james

Sick pays a pipe dream these days. I did go to the yard this morning to collect some bits from the stores. New core bits, long sds bits, spade bits, solder, flux, gas, heat mats. I do like that part of it!

Kirk does it. The wages are decent afaik.
Easier than working for a living if you can put up with the numpty calls.

How true is that ? its there answer to everything or you get its a bit of a grey area you decide

I've never said "use your engineering judgement" on the phone,

You have to be able to spell support, don't bother turning up for the interview, you have failed,

 

[Ch4 plumbing]

Can I have your direct line, the last guy I spoke to was awkward and actually blooming rude!

 

[Rickster123]

Have you ever said "it's a bit of a grey area..."

 

[kirkgas]

It's never a grey area, it's just hard for some people to get their head round a fact, especially when two are arguing and the one who phones in is wrong haha
