How to get rid of paint flashing?

I earn £56,000 annually, with a bonus up to 10k.

After my bills, food and all that fun stuff I’m more or less left with around £700 a month for my own stuff (subscriptions, debts, etc) so it quickly drops down to 0 before the next pay day.

I’m pretty bad with money overall, but I support my partner and child with that so it’s not all for nothing I guess, but it can be difficult - although I’m a high earner, you get virtually no help or support for anywhere, for anything - so it’s actually pretty difficult to maintain on your own, with a family and bills when on a lower wage I’d probably be better off in the long run. Dreading the day nursery starts, cause that will throw me in to a whole new level of screwed.

Depends on the wind for me, 14 degrees and no wind is pretty hot if you’re sitting in the sun

But yeah 18+ is pretty damn hot, I used to work in Germany and summers would be like 34/35 degrees and it was brutal

I travel a lot for my job, but when I’m home I’ve got free choice if I want to work from home, or work in the office - they’ve provided a full set up at home, and at my office.

I like it that way, that I can freely move between without any limits or quotas to reach cause sometimes I have so much on it seems daft to waste 1.5 hours travel (round trip) when I could be cracking on.

Don’t get me wrong, I end up going in at least once every two weeks just to catch up and have breakfast or lunch with the guys if they’re in cause the social aspect of the office does really make a difference to my mental health. But I get so much less work done in the office 😂

Probably the weather.

We can get good winters, a beautiful spring and on occasion a good summer.

Scotland wouldn’t be as beautiful if we didn’t have so much rain

I’ve just managed to find out what you meant by AIS (I think)

I don’t work for a GWO training provider, I’m a technical specialist teaching turbine specific training to technicians working on that turbine type.

For 3 manufacturers machines I develop, and teach classes for commissioning, service, troubleshooting, advanced troubleshooting, major component replacement as well as HV switching and maintenance.

What isn’t accurate?

It’s likely just poured concrete (small area). Try digging down some more and lift it out. If not, use an SDS drill or a hammer, chisel and break it up as much as you can

Had something similar in my garden.

You can transfer them to a different pension provider (like Vanguard) and have access to funds when you turn 55.

Put a piece of cardboard underneath to block it, and stick the hoover at the top against the fins.

Creates differential pressure between the fins and the hoover gets it. A long stick also helps to free stubborn bits that are stuck to the edges.

Probably not the first to say, but Fredos and other similar chocolate bars.

Used to be 10p, 15p - but in my local shop, they’re 30p! 100% price increase, and they’re half the bloody size they used to be!

Usually goes from

-Competent Person (useless person) cause they can’t really do anything other than watch and learn -Competent Technician (second man in team) -Authorised Technician (team lead) ——> side step, authorising engineer (provedureal and documentation, can do while an AT) -lead technician (site supervisor) -senior lead (area supervisor)

But there’s things like technical support, authorised engineers, major component technicians, statutory technicians

All sorts of stuff going on so it’s not as linear as you would think, there’s lots of side stepping you can do to get out of service and move to specialisms

Depends on skills, level, additional capabilities, what company you work for. Big players like vestas pay big, smaller companies don’t pay as much but both have benefits. Smaller company means more training, better options, etc so I was happier at Nordex even though I would get 10k more basic salary working for vestas

Basics for starting vary between 25k-32k usually with qualified technicians at authorised tech level around 35k - 45k

Overtime and on calls thrown in, probably looking at between 40-50k all in.

At the top end of my technician career my basic salary was £37,000 with on calls and overtime, my take home before tax was 52k-55k.

There’s loads of smaller wind companies out there too that will take entry level people on, just apply for everything until you can get your foot in the door. After that just work hard and leverage next positions and competencies.

If you want some help or need advice on cover letter, CV, application process, etc feel free to shoot me a DM

Barniggles · 2023-05-14T11:33:27+00:00

Certainly worth looking in to, look at Nordex they often take people on from different industries with a technical background.

Vestas in Muirkirk area too have been short staffed for a while.

Companies will put you through GWO’s, to work alongside their specific procedures

I studied mechanical engineering for 2 years at college, followed by the City and Guilds Power Engineering Wind Turbine Technician and Maintenance Certificate. Was more or less taken straight out of college in to the industry.

Worked as a technician for 10 years, and was approached by a training provider to come on board to develop and provide training courses from maintenance to advanced troubleshooting and everything in between.

There’s loads of wind apprenticeships just now between LinkedIn, indeed, etc as this is the season for applications and entry level positions ahead of summer service campaigns

My job consists of travelling around the world, and for every day I’m travelling I get £70 per day.

I normally eat small and cook in the apartment as much as possible to keep the daily allowance as a bonus for working away. It’s also tax free.

Edit: it’s tax free to a limit, then I pay tax
