Gas Safe Tech Suoport Officer

[kirkgas]

I don't think it's appropriate for me to make too many comments on this, what I will say is I do the job, I love doing it, I love working from home, I love having an hour for my lunch (it isn't paid, don't think anyone gets paid for lunch)
What I will say is the job won't suit everyone, and you can be home based or work from Basingstoke office, all equipment, Internet and phone line are supplied.

Glad you're enjoying it mate. Long may it continue.

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.

I bet you ask
"Why has NCS gone away" or "I'm doing a cp12 Theres no CO alarm, what will I do"

 

[TFGplumbing]

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

Humour me for a minute if you will kirk, what's the correct separation distance between two vertical selkirk roof terminals one a gas fire & one a oil rayburn?

I'd need to read all those updates to comment further... :19:

 

[alter ego]

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

I can type pretty quickly, and can spell really well :20:. Actually, I type away, mis-hitting (?) keys, then go back and edit. I spotted the title error, it did strike me as a minor irony, but cannot see anyway to edit it.

Kirk, you may not wish to answer this, even by PM, but is the salary okay? Is it performance related in any way?

You just can't say that APP!

 

[Masood]

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

How do you know that wasn't Kirk???

 

[Ch4 plumbing]

Haha hedging my bets!

 

[newcastle phill]

There are no grey areas.....
Just varying shades of darkness [emoji41]

5.30 actually

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

I'd probably end up saying
" just put your tools back in the van, apologise to the customer and tottle off and let her phone someone who has half a clue what they are doing" 😉

 

[basildog]

Sounds about right for an organization interested in one thing only, is it really safety,Oooops did I really say that out loud.

 

[newcastle phill]

Yes but what price can you put on safety ?????

Let me think...

£180 odd quid a year for ticket
£70 quid a year for Bs standards

You must have some list of qualifications if it takes a grands worth of reassessments

 

[newcastle phill]

He has to sit then twice hehee [emoji1]

Usually about the same for me but i'm thinking about going renegade for my last few years at this pish and stuff (i'd to edit the stars there) them all lol

 

[newcastle phill]

Ive gone commando a few times - never renegade [emoji12]

Its liberating hah

 

[alter ego]

Kirk, I have found the salary, but out of respect foryou, I won't mention it.
Do they supply a computer. Do they pay any expenses (heating , home office etc)?
Cheers

Mention the salary if you want to, but I appreciate the comment,
You don't get any payment for heating, but you advise the tax office you are a home worker and your tax code is altered to give you something for that side of things, I can't remember how much it is, in fact I'm not even sure I've contacted the tax office myself to sort that out yet haha, need to do it, you get all the equipment you need, desk, chair drawers lamp etc etc etc, you get laptop and extra screen, which is great now that up I use both

 

[alter ego]

Kirk, thank you for your input. Since I applied, I have been offerred another job which. after the probation period. will pay about £300 per annum less.

So I am probably going to take the bird in the hand and write to withdraw gracefully fron the interview.

Do you happen to have any idea how many posts are available, and do these jobs come up very often?

Thanks again.

 

[newcastle phill]

So what does gas safe pay then ??

 

[tamz]

About 10 **** a week more then someone else apparently lol
