Domestic electricians required in Jersey £17 to £20 per hour

There's another thread offering up to £22 per hour

I love that saying "up to"... Technically 22p per hour is within that..

£30 per hour? I couldn't take the drop!

I'm happy to work in Jersey for £17 - £20 per hour so long as the following conditions are satisfied:

1. Client pays for first-class return flights to Glasgow each weekend.

2. Free accomodation in a five-star hotel is provided Monday to Friday.

3. Hookers are supplied on a nightly basis at the client's expense.

out of interest whats the cost of living on Jersey? Islands can sometimes be expensive places to live

Very expensive to be fair as if you come over you'll be needing non qualified rentals so think twice the cost of locally qualified people ! I used to work for the OP and my wage was £10 less / hr as an improver but really experienced to be fair. But now I work for myself so all good but trying to get by non qualified on less than double the £17/ hr you'll struggle ! No VAT but we have 5% GST ( Goods & services tax ) or Government Stupidity Tax, and prices generally add up to Vat prices due to costs levied as Risteard said for shipping / flying in most supplies ! Awesome in the summer, miserable in Winter. Risteard is very clued up.

I worked there for nine months. It is reasonably expensive, as obviously everything has to be shipped in. In bad weather not only are flights and ferries cancelled, but the news is too as the newspapers can't get across the English Channel. The exception to this is the Jersey Evening Post.

That said it's a lovely place and I really miss it at times.

Come back anytime buddy !

 

[Soulsurfer]

Can I come if I am in T Shirt?

no tops required !

 

[Risteard]

Come back anytime buddy !

Actually heading over for a few days in a couple of months time. Will be my first time back on the island since 2011. Can't wait! Must see if I can find my Jersey health card

Does that apply to women too?

I know the bottom half of women are nice but I feel it a bit extreme to amputate the top half..... It would stop them nagging at you though...
Sorry ladies.. I love you really..

Facts
Average electrician wage £730 for 40 hours

I'm finding this thread quite confusing, particularly in relation to the above statement.
I've only recently started out and can say that I have made £700 clear profit over 3 days doing three separate jobs. Total 24 hours, not 40.
If you're prepared to market your skills and work to your abilities then the jobs are out there at considerably better rates than some contract/employed roles are offering.
By my calculations and limited experience I believe the more experienced electricians should be doing this regularly and easily attain £30+ ph.
