Advice for a possible job change?

Not at all Mate,

Fair enough. As I said, my apologies. I didn’t want my post to sound like I’m just moaning about where I work and wanting everything for nothing, I’m willing to put the work in to get further, my current position just isn’t what I was led to believe it would be

Well if you aint happy with your lot, then as soon as something that takes your fancy comes along, take the jump, don't want to go on about my life, but I have had jobs that I didn't like but out of necessity, I had to stick at it until my chance of the ideal job came along, it's not going to be all Roses, what looks like a good job may be a right Bummer, getting there as you describe it doesn't come along easily, I guess you have to think what and how far you want to proceed in the position you have, if you want to move into supervision then go for it, if your ideal job is wielding a screwdriver for the rest of your natural then you can't complain can you?.
You are always going to get guys and Gals who think they are the Dog's do dahs and think I should be in charge, what else can I say it just annoys me when , the I want it all brigade start mumbling, guess I'm in for some grief, but I'm a big boy now.

From 21-29 yrs i changed job 4 times, usually for more money but also for better prospects, quite frankly the time to do it is early as possible because it does get harder to change as you get older.
Good Luck and Happy new year

Offer yourself to do more work then. Replacing light fittings all day is going to be boring. You state you are mobile. Are you on a call out rota?? Prove you are good at breakdown work (if you are, or get good at it if you are not), that is far more interesting. I know you have a domestic background so if you're not really pushed, use your time on site now better to really see how it goes together. Commercial is more lucrative than domestic long term and is much more varied. If it is still not good down the line then move once you have some more experience under your belt mate.

I worked for a company that built mobile Fuel skids for 3rd world countries. Basically dirty fuel was cleaned through the Process skid and then used to fuel a Diesel Turbine which rotated a generator.

We basically done everything. A spark and Mech was paired up and done the ladder work. Conduits. Spool and large pipe work. Instruments the lot. There’s jobs like these around just got to know what to look for.
