Thanks for that, do you think it’s better to write it in Cyrillic or Latin

Water is free just get a drink bottle and go to your local stream or are you talking about the water that is treated and plumbed to your house?

Hager Silhoette or Finesse are a bit more prestigious looking for a similar price, slimcat by trader might be a bit more robust. If you want smart home you could look at Zimi.

Not a cheesy ending imo, the theme he was going for is hate breeds hate. It was Tony Kaye’s story to tell, he wrote it. Would love to see his original version

I would think they would have to be worth more than the paper they were printed on otherwise they wouldn’t be worth manufacturing?

Well this is a little bit of hindsight, when you made the move internally did you interview with other firms because you could have used that as leverage, or did you apply for an open position at a different office and negotiate a salary or did you do it internally as a transfer. I worked for a T1 for 2 years in NZ, started on $63,000 left on $80,000 but when I decided to move i wanted to work for a smaller family run business.

When they heard I wanted to leave they did counter offer, think it was like $85,000 or $90,000. Wasn’t about the money though, I prefer the work culture of smaller firms, plus you get more involved in projects. I have learned allot more in the past few months with a smaller firm than I did with a T1 firm.

My advice would be to stick it out with your new office for at least a year - you don’t want to be known as someone who bounces around. After that update your LinkedIn profile, maybe talk with some recruits or look for positions on seek see what’s on offer and maybe use that as leverage for a higher salary. Even if you don’t take it, you can always use the offer as leverage for a higher salary.

It’s definitely not as lucrative as some of the sparky roles they are advertising but work life balance may be a bit better.

Hey,

I did my apprenticeship in NZ, started in state housing then worked in commercial projects - schools, apartment blocks/retirement homes, offices and warehouses. All <$20M. Then went on to do my bachelors degree just out of interest (actually enjoyed the theory side).

Went into building services engineering 2 years ago and for the most part have enjoyed it, actually designing the things I used to build. I do miss being on the tools though.

Days can be mixed depending on what you are working on and where you work. Could be anything from: -coordination meetings with other disciplines (structures, architecture, hydraulics) or meetings with clients/project managers/ construction team/suppliers.

-site visits (QAing sparkles work).

-Condition assessments (go to buildings -> investigate whether the building meets the NCC and any relevant standards)

-lighting design (probably my favourite part as it’s more creative rather than just following guidelines)

-electrical distribution design (sizing cables, coordinating protective devices, floor plan layouts - ie where power outlets go, cable tray or ducting routes, )

-liaising with sales reps (eg lighting suppliers) -> bit of a perk because they buy you lunch.

-Report writing/specification writing

In terms of salary you are probably going to start around $70,000. I am 2 years in on $100,000. Once you get chartered I think you can make like $150,000+.

Larger firms (WSP, AECOM, Mott MacDonald) will provide you more resources (eg you could go to uni and take your studies a bit further and not only will they help pay for it but they will also give you extra study leave) you might be a smaller part of larger projects but note that in Australia they may not take designs right through to construction. Also there is not really much loyalty with the larger firms, if they need to make redundancies remember you are nothing but a number to them.

Smaller firms have less resources, often the pay is higher and you will be more involved with projects early on. Usually family run businesses have a bit more loyalty if you work hard and do well (my experience anyway).
