More commercial but I get myself on some good industrial jobs too, been in and out of sellafield on various projects, plenty of shutdowns on the local factories and a few chemical plants, installed new tank systems, factory processes, a biomass power station, new kilns in a sawmill
pretty much all installation and nothing too heavy (unfortunately) but power, controls and instrumentation, I would like to get more involved with plcs and the like but I like installation too much.
hardcore old school industrial sparks have pretty much died out now, a lot of the lads I come across can talk the talk but don't know their arse from their elbow and wouldn't last 5 minutes if they weren't pals with the gaffers, saying that there are still some good lads out there. Tony I admire your dedication and commitment to the job it's commendable but the way this game is thesedays you wouldn't catch me offering the same level of commitment as all but a few employers are out to screw you over, have you work for next to nothing and go the extra mile 24/7 for little or no reward. Given the chance of a good pension, good rates and career progression then I'd up my commitment but for now I'll carry on like the mercenary I have to be
