Anybody need a service techie?
Discussion
Almost 18 years in present job, need a change and fancy fewer hours (47, no dependents, mortgage almost paid 
). Asked a few times to go 4 day week but the chief vetoes it. Family firm so no possibility of advancement as 'they' have all the managerial posts. No bonuses, negligible overtime, same 20 days holiday I started with, staff pension scheme but death-in-service benefits scrapped, no 'career development' training unless it specifically benefits the company... what incentives?
Essentially I'm a multi-disciplined service engineer in the non-destructive testing field, work down to component level on electronics, upto 320kV on x-ray systems. Electrical, electronic, mechanical design (AutoCAD Level 2) including mobile radiography bays and lead-lined sliding doors... irradiation systems for rodent experiments (cancer research to you)... interlock and warning systems on x-ray bays... control panel design, assembly and wiring... instrument calibration (rad. monitors mostly but also multimeters, light meters, other NDT test kit)... pneumatics... steel fabrication/ welding, mill and lathe work etc etc.. Have Confined Spaces cert. & MEWP cert.
Also C&G qualified as a Motor Vehicle Technician (though I wouldn't fancy that as a job these days
), previously worked in banking, vehicle security and funeral service(!).
Looking for something interesting, preferably under 30 hours/week and ideally north-east based - and preferably with customers closer than the other end of the country, which is where it seems most of ours are
