Does anyone know whats involved with becoming an oil fired heating engineer? As the Island has no mains gas the majority are oil fired boilers and many more are switching from coal to oil, not many people doing it on the island so I'm thinking of that as well as looking to become a sparky, the more irons in the fire as they say. I've spent ten years servicing/repairing Medical devices so know the service game quite well and I would have thought a boiler would be somewhat less complicated than =A3100,000 analyzers and robotic sample sorters, and less chance of catching CJD, Hepetitis and the like. :-)
I would like to kick sommat off early next year and am weighing up my options. I dont want to work for an organisation again as I've done the career ladder thing and the stress given to supervisory level in the Medical Diagnostic industry is too much, even with a good salary it just isnt worth it!! And spending time at home is nice for a change, working locally will suit me fine :-)
I've emailed OFTEC for their advice but wanted to ask if anyone knows owt about it
Cheers.
