Hi guys,
I've recently moved to London from Australia and just touching base to see what the go is with being a sparky in the UK.
So far I've got a NI number, booked in to the T64 3 day 17th edition course to convert my Aussie ticket to a UK one, booked a ECS health and safety course to get the Construction site card and I'm also looking at getting myself one of those LUCAS tickets to work in the underground. Is that basically all I'll need? Also I have Rio Tinto confined spaces and working at heights, will they transfer straight over as they're an international mob?
My aim while I'm over here is mainly to travel Europe but also just to pick up some short term 1 - 3 month contract/temp roles doing upgrades or fitouts or whatever to supplement the income, seems to be a little bit of that type of work in the job ads here in London.
Cheers, Pat.
P.S great forum by the way.
