Hi all I’m going to go down a very well trodden route on the forum but hey I’ve nothing to lose at all and from what I’ve read everything to gain.
It also seems the Ex Forces make up a large part of this Forum and I won’t spoil that, I’m Ex RAF General Tech Electrical.
I’ve completed the training course at MTCS, and I’m not in the belief I’m a Pilot Tech I/II, I’m of the belief I’ve completed an intro or foundation course on which to build a possible career, though getting a foot in the door is proving more than a little difficult.
I have the prerequisite tech background a total of 20 years,
NVQ L3 – Electronic & Electrical Engineering
C&G 17th Edition IEE Regulations
C&G Handling of refrigerants
C&G Electrical and Electronic competences
C&G Engineering craft studies
Medical and Dental equipment training
High Voltage, Fibre Optic, PLC, Hydraulic, Pneumatic Experience
For the latter I’m not just talking about the MTCS course I have actually worked and am proficient in all the above.
Now I realize I’m not a young guy and younger guy’s may work for a lower day rate, but I am totally committed to perusing a career in the ROV Industry. So any feedback Positive or negative will be appreciated, ways round the CV e-mail filters would be welcome?
Now I may be missing the point and I know I’ve very little experience on ROV systems, but wouldn’t an experienced electrical engineer who’s worked on equipment as old as carbon pile regulation (showing my age now!) and as new as the latest medical X-ray be an asset to an ROV team? Guys I can even fix your air conditioning in the cabins if it fails!
So really after sending out enough e-mails and CV’s to destroy a small forest I’m asking for advice and pointing in the right direction?
Thanks One and all just for taking the time to read.
All advice welcome. 8)
