JIB Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) techinican jib card enquiry

[ackbarthestar]

yeah, that was my question as well. he said something about it being a jib site and that they would have to pay him technician rates or get into bother with the jib.

What are the JIB rates these days?
If i remember, an Electrician = £12.00, Approved Electrician = £14.00 and Technician = £16.00 or there abouts
Not worth the bother joining up

just had a quick look on the jib website:

technician: £15.38 or £16.16 (own transport)

approved: £13.59 or £14.35

electrician: £12.45 or £13.23

i believe these rates have been in place since january 2010. it baffles me as to why the jib are happy to grade their operatives at a rate below the rates that are available on a lot of sites.

Greetings all. Got jib site technician. A while back I was told by an approved spark that because I was a technician I had no right showing the firms apprentice how to carry out/ benefits of safe isolation. Apparently only electricians can teach this.! I kid you not..

Well given the fact that a 'site technician' card has the holders main occupation written above it, i.e. Installation Electrician, then I wonder why he said such a thing!

Yep, I've got one and it's in date , and yes I did do the old C course ( my project was a swimming pool ),

Regards.

Haha, that doesn't even make sense - what a bell.

i see it like this if they want a electrician for i,e £12 hr for a 2 mouth contact and they are a jib company

you are applying for a electrician poistion nt tech so why should they have you pay you the tech rate, if they only want a electriciian position

I guess it depends what they want I suppose. Most techs are highly skilled individuals in many key electrical areas. Most (not all) electricians are generally installers only. Getting a site technician card is not easy, lets face it most people struggle just getting a card. Techs are also defined as being at level 4 Master Craftsman.
