Neill1888 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Hi All I am a British Gas engineer at present and have been for the last 14 years, but I have decided to make the move to sunny Melbourne or surrounding area hopefully by the start of (2014). I had my skills assessed by TRA which was successful for the occupation of Gas Fitter. I have a NVQ level 3 qualification in domestic natural gas maintenance. I have done all lines of work whilst working for British Gas, I worked for Transco dealing with the distribution side for 4 years, dealing with gas escapes, gas service pipe renewals and gas repairs before I moved indoors to become a technical engineer dealing with breakdowns, installation and servicing to all gas appliances such as boilers, fires, warm air units water heaters, space heaters, back boiler units AGA range cookers, gas tumble dryers and unvented hot water systems. As of next week I will be qualified to work with LPG for all the above. I have also done a 1 year secondment role on the British Gas National Technical Help Desk dealing with problematic jobs throughout the country. communicating with a wide range of departments internal and external to British Gas but my main role was to provide technical support to over 7000 engineers in the field either over the phone or direct on site if required. I am looking for a similar job to what I have here back in the U.K hands on if possible although I am willing to carry out any training that is required and even become a trades assistant for a while if I have to if that would help me get my foot in the door somewhere. At the moment I have applied for state sponsorship and expect to hear back by end of September at the latest. If anyone is looking for someone with my skills in Gas appliance fault finding just drop me a message. Thanks in advance Neill Thornton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
