Hi Andrew. I’d recommend setting up accounts on the electricians forums and offering your services. The forums are a good place to make contacts and get advice:
http://www.electriciansblog.co.uk/2009/04/electricians-forum/
Hello all, I recently changed careers for something more rewarding and completed my electrical training at the end of 2011. Whilst looking for a work start I set up as a sole trader doing domestic bits and pieces, a couple of board changes, repair sockets & light switches here and there, but of course I am not making a living. Unfortunately I can’t seem to get a start anywhere as a mate, even though I have offered my services for free for a trial period so I am left pretty desperate still looking for a start and I would appreciate any advice on how I might achieve better success.
I noted electricians and mates are hired in pairs, roughly £140/80 a day. I had this idea that where a pair of two electricians were sought I could offer the other electrician £60 of my pay so the split would be £200/80 so that I could gain the experience I need with some support but I was unable to find someone.
The experience I am looking for is first fix and second fix, working on new builds or rewires etc. Anything like that so I can get to practice what I have learnt. I live in North London and have a car and my own tools and testing equipment. I am also Part
P registered and have an ECS card.
If anyone out there could use someone like myself then please contact me. I am hard working and once I understand exactly how you want something done I will chug along like a choo choo train. I would really like to get a start somewhere and I’m sure that after the initial period of getting to grips with what you need done and how quickly, I will add value to your workload.
Anyway there it is, in the meantime back to the LearningLounge and the Electrician’s Blog.
