anyone need a job

[jacko lah]

I was not sure exactly which forum to put this in so I thought a Job in the OFF highway automotive supply industry was sort of car related. I know there's a jobs section in the classified but this bit of the forum gets more traffic.

Anyway. I'm looking for 2 assembly operators to start Immediately, the pay is not brilliant, although with overtime and shift allowance it's okay and for people that come in EVERY day and work reasonably hard, there are extra small bonuses. Starting wage is £5.65 basic (but is being reviewed in the next 2 weeks) rising to £6.15 after 6 months (Again being reviewed so I guess it might go up 2%)

Did I mention it's 3 shifts, and you will be assembling and testing small high volume sub assies.

It's in Runcorn, there is scope for the right people to move to a first level maintenance role of automated equipment, or to team leader.

Anyway my HR manager is using the usual agencies, but I thoought I'd throw it open to my pistonhead buddies.

I'll email full job description and application for anyone seriously interested

A friend from another forum (Cavweb/vxon) did this as an in-fill for a few weeks before joining the RAF and found it erm TEDIOUS !!

The only plus point is that I'd be your boss and I'm NOT a tt !!


Comments are welcome as it's in the piston and pie section.

nice try but i cant see people queueing up for it, a 40 hour week for £226

and shifts at that

good luck

With shifts and overtime there are people taking home £1000 a month














Which explains why your kids need to be encouraged to work hard at school.

let me just get back onto my chair from laughing so much i fell off!

so bonuses ad up to £24. romanians and bulgarians are looking for jobs, you should go to the ports and grab them as they come in

too true about kids working hard at school but my advice is if you want to earn a good wage you need to be self employed

I know it's crap. Personally I thnk we should offer more and expect more.

starting salary: £25k
5 years in: £35 -£40k
topping out at £60k

above assumes working for blue chip company as regular employee. Salary would increase if you moved to managerial role, or consultancy.

In the Automotive Supply Chain, I've worked for Lucas (Lucas Engineering and Systems, Lucas Control Systems Products, Lucas Automotive Electrical Systems) , and Garrett (Honeywell Engine Boosting Systems) and now I work for a company who supply off highway (Diggers)

Starting Salary for a Graduate off a Sandwich Degree is about £19K and Expect to Get no more than £28-£30K after 10 years, If you move into management you'll get £33-£40K and have to have a personallity transplant.

Nothng wrong with being a manager. It a very difficult and tough job, and most managers are disliked because people don't like being managed. There are bad managers out there that give managers a bad reputation at times but on the whole good managers are worth their weight in gold,and there are plenty out there!!

So....all of you non manager's out there....when the project doesn't come in on time due to time or budget contraints or something doesn't happen that needed to happen, guess who gets it in the neck straight away, and is more likely to ultimately lose their job.....The manager, not those being managed.

I guess that I've seen both sides of this. It's way so much more complex than you paint it.
