Steve,
Look, I did my time as an Electrician with the local PoCo.
After that I was sent out into the world to learn something, that to me was working in an Industrial field.
I rang around a lot of places and people were looking to take me on, but I wanted one thing here, the Meat works, these places are a gold mine of technology, PLC's, robotics, you name it and the chance to do ordinary faults work.
I loved the year that I was there, nice guys too.
Any place that is serious about thier tech's Steve, send thier staff on training courses, if you get in somewhere, ask around, when did they last sit a PLC course or so, if it's over 6 months, run mate!. [Linked Image]
