OK

I`l chuck my hat in here...on the basis that i`v done a bit for GMES...and have an industrial testing job for tomorrow for some guy who i do a bit of subbying for..

of course theres been the commercial stuff as well....which i have done quite a bit of actually....

Glenn, leave the bloody domestic stuff alone once and for all. We all know what you are and it is not a domestic spark. We have worked with each other/for each other on domestic and commercial jobs over the past 2 years I know where you belong.

He has my vote to be in the Industrial club, a duck to water IMHO. I'll stick to what I know best so I'm not in I'm afraid lol.

@ Glenn, this time next year mate???
 
When I begin my new job i'll be responsible for 8......8.......8! units worth 500k each.....i'm a bit scared!

Don’t think what its worth because its worth bugger all if it isn’t working. At that point you’re worth your weight in gold, when it is working you’re worth jack ----. Get used to it, it’s a fact of life for the guys in maintenance.

Once you gain confidence you’ll start to enjoy it. When you can tell the boss what you’re going to do, you’ve won. It will come but there’s a lot to learn on the way.
First thing is learn how the process works, only then will know what’s wrong when it’s going haywire.

As I said earlier, I’d go back to it tomorrow if I could.

That did backfire on me.
One of the shift production managers went off long term sick. I was invited in to the office and came out as the new shift production manager. To say I was a bit shell shocked would be an understatement.
I enjoyed it but I wanted back into the fray so I left.
 
If a theatre is a factory that produces entertainment, can I join the club? It would be fair to say that of the modest amount of hands-on I do with heavy electrics these days, theatre lighting is the main area. That said, I will be connecting and commissioning some machining centres next week. At any rate I don't do domestic or ordinary commercial at all, never have done.
 
The more I think about it the more a theatre seems like a kind of batch process reactor. You load in the feedstock, add some catalyst, then when you apply selective radiant heat to the catalyst it causes the feedstock to react. The heating cycle is quite complex, it needs the right wavelengths for exactly the right exposure times to get good results. When the cycle is finished you can unload the product and load fresh feedstock, reusing the catalyst each time until it becomes spent.

So yes, definitely an industrial electrician.
 
As some of you know,I served my time in a factory,then later on did a bit of house bashing before moving back to the industry.I hated the domestic stuff,far too much messing about,plus I don,t really do people,lol I,ve worked for some of the big names over the years including rebuilding the "hot plant" at a large curry manufacturer,superviser of decommissioning at a well known,cable makers as they went into the death throes,one of the uk,s main turkey producers on installing a new plant,plus many large commercial jobs.I retired on health grounds a few years back but may be tempted back in a part time capacity as my last employer is opening an A D plant and they,ve offered me a post as maintenance engineer when the plant goes on stream,nothing too big apparently just a walk around type of job on my own so that will suit me.

Aye, definitely in.....a bit theatrical though Lucy......sorry Lucien :flowers: Curtain call, please!!
 
we can tie pretty coloured ribbons to it

Sorry, maypole ribbons have been harmonised by IEC60446 and are now brown, black and grey. The village green-and-yellow must be not less than 1/3 and not more than 2/3 green. Maidens may be any colour except green/yellow or blue.
