what i need to get on new build only??

[andrew95]

hello I have recently left college with a Level 3 Electrotechnical Technology diploma at grade PASS. I have about 5months experience on site working as an apprentice but I really want to work on new build properties only due to my fear of asbestos. any advice on me getting onto new build and will I need to enhance my electrical qualifications or will a level 3 do it?? thanks!!

I've been thinking about this and I've made a decision, I only want to work in places where all forms of containment come premade and assembled because I'm a bit scared of getting cuts, I'd like all cables to be pulled in for me because blisters can really hurt.
I don't want to be making any more SWA off because those hacksaws are dangerous and pyro is out of the question from now on because we all know how sharp it gets when you're stripping it.
All terminations must be made as I get bored easily and we can forget testing because, well it's just a chore.
I can't be doing with intruder alarm work either because those tiny little cables are fiddly.
Now, who would like to employ me

Perhaps the OP needs to get a girlie type job, you know hairdresser, oh sorry all the fumes from sprays, no disrespect to all our lady leckies intended

No no, I like being an electrician. It's just all those things above that I'm not happy about doing any more.
