    Is anyone taking on service improvers in the west midland?



    Iv got just over two years experience on supermarket ppm, I have my refrigeration nvq2, f-gas regs, brazing cert, and I'm half way through my electrical install level 2 which I do in my own time, I want to be a service improver not a maintenance engineer. Please pm me as I'm very keen and a fast learner.

    Can you go into youre user profile and allow private messages. I may have something for you but dont want to post it on a public forum.

    Obviously with my RE hat back on, have a look at the jobs section on this site. gets updated fairly regulaly www.refrigeration-engineer.com/jobs and also might be worth registering an interest with some of the agencies (RHL normally fairly good)

    Anyone, good luck with the job hunting

    Regards

    All I want to do is be good at my job! To work with someone who knows what there talking about and enjoys sharing there knowledge.

    A lot of senior engineers don't like sharing there knowledge, they forget how they learned. I feel for you. Good luck I hope you get the knowledge you need.

    The other alternative is to apply for a job and lie about your ability and learn as you go. When your in the deep end you will pick it up quick

    I would lie. Even if the job lasted 6 month that's 6 month experience he never had before. Just the way the world is.

    Hi Improver No1,
    How's it going? Talk to your director if your manager is not helping.

    As you say, Short sightedness on the managers behalf!!!
    In response to your ME, I would tell him that he is not sorting it out so you will go higher than him!
    Ever thought of turning to the Dark Side (projects)? But ask Glen what he thinks about his move first.

    Hope it turns out ok for you.

    Hi silhouette,

    I definitely feel projects is a leap in the right direction and would relish the opportunity, as long as the training and support structure is in place I would happily take the challenge.

    I will speak to glen on Monday.
