I served my time in Sligo as a house bashing electrician. When work ran out there (before the boom) moved to Dublin and started working in the industrial side of things. I spent 11years with the same company, the last five of which was spent testing and commissioning all aspects of medium voltage installations. The last job I did for them was back in my home town of Sligo commissioning a 38kV sub-station for the ESB (our utility company). Quite a big difference from my previous work there.
Then an opportunity arose a couple of years ago for a job as a commissioning "engineer" for a generator company. This involves electrical commissioning of all types of generator systems including single and multiple synchronizing sets. I have to say it was a great move and really love it.
Somewhere down the line I love to I'd love to finish up full time in the workshop. Nothing big just one job at a time commissionings for people in a relaxed kind of way (dream on Neil).
Good thread Tony very interesting.
