Title: Extinguisher Service Engineer
Post by: sheffield_dude on September 04, 2006, 11:53:53 AM: Hi there

I am interested in becoming a extinguisher service engineer anyone know any decent companys that dont mind training new people into the trade.

I have phoned up some companys and they are not interested unless people are qualified, this isnt any good for people wanting to get into the trade.

Sadly, although in sheffield I don't really do extinguisher work often enough to advise the bosses to take on a full timer, but am happy to advise.

Give me a shout if you are looking for another position Richard. No commission or incentives proves honesty is the best policy.
