It certainly isn’t domestic and specialised, I would count it.

Going to have a tally up later.
 
The more I think about it the more a theatre seems like a kind of batch process reactor. You load in the feedstock, add some catalyst, then when you apply selective radiant heat to the catalyst it causes the feedstock to react. The heating cycle is quite complex, it needs the right wavelengths for exactly the right exposure times to get good results. When the cycle is finished you can unload the product and load fresh feedstock, reusing the catalyst each time until it becomes spent.

So yes, definitely an industrial electrician.
 
As some of you know,I served my time in a factory,then later on did a bit of house bashing before moving back to the industry.I hated the domestic stuff,far too much messing about,plus I don,t really do people,lol I,ve worked for some of the big names over the years including rebuilding the "hot plant" at a large curry manufacturer,superviser of decommissioning at a well known,cable makers as they went into the death throes,one of the uk,s main turkey producers on installing a new plant,plus many large commercial jobs.I retired on health grounds a few years back but may be tempted back in a part time capacity as my last employer is opening an A D plant and they,ve offered me a post as maintenance engineer when the plant goes on stream,nothing too big apparently just a walk around type of job on my own so that will suit me.

Aye, definitely in.....a bit theatrical though Lucy......sorry Lucien :flowers: Curtain call, please!!
 
we can tie pretty coloured ribbons to it

Sorry, maypole ribbons have been harmonised by IEC60446 and are now brown, black and grey. The village green-and-yellow must be not less than 1/3 and not more than 2/3 green. Maidens may be any colour except green/yellow or blue.
 
Glenn, leave the bloody domestic stuff alone once and for all. We all know what you are and it is not a domestic spark. We have worked with each other/for each other on domestic and commercial jobs over the past 2 years I know where you belong.

He has my vote to be in the Industrial club, a duck to water IMHO. I'll stick to what I know best so I'm not in I'm afraid lol.

@ Glenn, this time next year mate???
possibly Paul....with help from friends.

and anyway...whats all this about `sticking to what you know`?

caus i`l tell you all now:

Me & GMES were nearby....so we went down to where Paul was working....it was a commercial job.

we came, we saw and what we saw was quality work....all of Paul`s doing...
 
You know, I tried to rescue this thread. I tried really hard.
Now it's gone all warm, fluffy and cuddly.
Gits
:)

Well done!! :)
 
Well I do as little install work under BS7671 as I can get away with, as the work has pretty much been ruined by the muppets.
I stick to CNC/PLC/Controls stuff.
In fact I've just landed my first 3rd party CE marking job, where I will be doing the work to help the client get their kit through the 3rd party CE marking with a Notified Body for them to sell it in the EU.
Nothing BS7671 at all, all 60204 etc.
Which is where I do almost all of my work, 7671 work has been devalued by the muppets & Electrical Trainee, immigrants to make it not worth while doing TBH.

Too little, too late mate. Have you read the last couple of pages?
 
May as well chuck this thread back in the trash bin.

I was going to tot up how many had come forward as real electricians. Can’t be arsed to sift my way though it now.
 
Sorry Tony, I'll edit as many of my shyte posts in the morning and get Geordie to do the same Either that or I'll tally it up for you.
 
I count as 0.1 industrial. :)

I started off in that field but didn't stay long and I wouldn't trust myself with a hamster wheel these days never mind the stuff I started out on.
 
Having spent my formative years working on distilleries ,print works and the like I don't class myself as an industrial electrician.all rounder will do me.
one week I might be on a rewire or jobbing or domestic appliances so it wasn't full time.
i prefer the bigger stuff tbh.
my mates dad got sent to a power station when he was in his 4th year in the 60s.
thought great get some of the good stuff under his belt.
got handed a pile of trs and sent in the direction of 6 houses that needed wired!
he had to wire these in a neat and tidy style before he even got near the power station
my lad has recently been involved in the commissioning of a 275 kv transmission transformer with the protection side of things
to say I'm slightly envious would be an understatement
im not telling him that though....
 
only did one or two houses on my apprenticeship,then mainly office refurbs and larger site work ,now working as maintenance in a factory which makes and tests diesel injectors where i fix everything from a light to a Test rig still have loads to learn on the plc side of things :6:
