maintenance electrician's role

[martinh287]

Got a job interview tomorrow for a hospital maintenance electrician. Just wondering roughly what the job will entail if anyone has done a similar job. So I have half a idea as to what will be expected of me and can have a think bout the sort of technical questions that might be aimed at me. I have no experience whatsoever of been a maintenence electrician just installations so any heads up would be appreciated cheers

80% changing lamps and starters etc. 20% fault finding and thinking required.

Your going to be changing lamps for the rest of your life! congratulations!!!

 

[telectrix]

lots of pretty nurses to chat up, though.

What I thought then basically. Im debating on accommodation accepting the job for this lamp changing reasoning as above but when im looking to can some more experiance elsewhere to where I am currently working. I am only recent ly qualified and want a full scope of electrical experience. However just dont know if maintenance spark in hospital is something I should be looking at in another 30yrs time or if I can gain some valuable experience there.

All the job role stated was preventative maintenance testing. Control of stock and ordering of accessories and equipment and installation work in a nutshell

as long as you have the presence of mind to look busy when you're doing nothing, it's a doddle of a job. H&S will be a major concern of the employer, so expect a few questions there.

H+s should be ok done course after courses on H+s. By sounds of it been able to distinguish between a 5ft and a 6ft lamp will be handy.

thats easy. a 5ft one comes to my chin and a 6ft one is just above my head.

 

[martinh287]

6ft one comes to my chin 5ft slots under my arm pit. Ok for leaning on if you are a hospital maintenance spark I guess

You shouldn't even need steps to change those lamps. You might be over qualified.
