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 £100,000 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.
