Wanted to put it out there and get some idea of what people are really paying / being paid for various roles..
I am quoting at present for some very good projects which will require more hands if i get them, mainly new build installs for a small high end boutique developer I know in bath, have been fitting his ev chargers until now but has asked me to quote as he wasnt impressed with the quality on a recent project and wants to look at other contractors.
What is the going rate for
Adult trainees (such as those paying for own training ie 2365 L2/L3, wanting hands on experience rather than formal apprenticeship?)
Adult apprentices - as a lot of companies pay above the legal minimum
electricians mate/ labourer -
Have seen some adverts for electricians mates in the area for £25 per hour! I know sparks who only just get that when on the books...
That said I know general labourers in Bath and Bristol asking for £180 per day and they aint short of work.
I am happy to pay a fair and good rate to get a good quality person, somebody who isn't as daft as a rigid paint brush and has some common sense. they will not know everything, neither do i. we all keep learning, but somebody who is willing to get stuck in, listen and get the job done correctly, no short cuts. difficulty is knowing what is the right amount...
