Hi all,
Been reading quite a lot of threads around here and I hope to pick your brains with some thoughts I have been having.
I am a time served Electrical Engineer with 8 years experience working mainly industrial (installation/maintenance/testing/fault finding). I have done small amount of domestic work (assisting contractors).
I have been thinking for a while about going self employed and working as an electrical contractor. I understand that I would need to gain some qualifications in the domestic sector and also gain more experience working with domestic electricians.
Courses I would look into are Part P, Domestic installation, inspection & testing along with others. I know an electrical contractor who is happy for me to gain more experience with him.
My current employer are ok with me doing 'part time' work. My intent is to do this full time once established.
Just looking for some advice on my thoughts, what to do and what not to do.. doing a lot of research to see if this would be viable.
Thanks in advance.
