Hi everyone im new to the forum so hers abit of my background,
I have an electrical trade with 10 yrs experience and electrical related degree.
With work being scarce with the recession etc. ive decided to take an apprentiship as a
refrigeration engineer to get a mix of electrical and mechanical skills and hopefully a more sustainable career.
I have been offered a job with a Reefer tech company in Ireland who touch on work in Air-con, cold room installation , blast room installation and general all round maintenance commissioning etc.
I was hoping some1 can help me by sharing some of the ins and outs of the industry.
Is reefer tech a good area to train in??
I have heard i can look forward to long unsociable hours??
Is the sector a sustainable area of employment (at the minute anyway)???
What sort of wage should a qualified engineer be expecting??
Is there room for career advancement Etc etc. ??
Any and all helful advice and/or tips are welcome and will be appreciated
