I'm a service engineer for a British cnc machining centre manufacturer, I do installs, services, repairs, programming the lot really. Although I'm electrically trained it's a multi skilled job, I may be knocking out bearings one day, testing/fitting a 300Hz motor the next, and installing a new pc/setting up IP addresses the day after that. Every day is different which I love.
Fish, you've piqued my interest, I'm pretty sure out house doesn't have cavity insulation and I'm trying to get it a bit more energy efficient.
If you don't mind me asking, what's the best (cheapest ) way of getting the work done and are there available grants?
Who do you work for mate, I'm a maintenance tech for an oil and gas firm and I'm the same repair cnc machines I'm electrical biased but do it all, mechanical ,electrical, pneumatics, hydraulics, welding plants etc. Work on DST ,Millturn, Tacchi and Soraluce lathes, borers and verticals.
Plasterer,but currently window fitter.
A company called Stuga mate (Great Yarmouth based despite the German sounding name), we make machines specifically for the manufacture of UPVC windows, door and conservatories.
Essentially I travel around window companies in Northern England and Scotland sorting them out, I'm in Preston today for instance, I don't touch lathes or any other machine to be honest unless the customer is desperate and willing to give me a back hander
