Electrician turned plumber

[Mark K]

Good morning,

I'm new here. I have just completed the academic side of my Gas Ssafe course, now looking to complete a portfolio.

Previously, I owned and ran a controls company that was an NICEIC approved contractor, working on commercial buildings. I was the Qualified Supervisor, as a qualified electrician. I worked for Honeywell for 16 years before that, so fully conversant with controls. Due to personal circumstances (single dad to a 9 year old) I need to work more locally and more flexibly, hence hoping to do call-outs, services and landlord's certs in my local area.

Looking forward to exchanging ideas.

Cheers,

Mark

Welcome Mark , and good luck . Be careful on breakdowns though , to go straight into breakdowns without the correct knowhow is incredibly hard IMO

I'll be in touch when I need help, hence joining. I've done lots of call-outs, domestic and commercial, as an electrician or controls engineer, where I identify the problem down to a gas component that needs to be changed and I have to stop, hopefully, soon, not any more. Flues and ventilation was an interesting learning experience though.

Hello and welcome

From the type of work you've been doing all those years you must have a good problem solving and a logical mind which is half the battle. I wish you all the best with your new field of work.
