calling engineers

[henrymonster]

Can anyone suggest the best way of finding licensed helicopter engineers robinson bell eurocopter huges enstrom. there seems to be loads of fixed wing but helicopters are as rare as hens teeth.

You have to know the password and the funny handshakes.

Take yourself to airmech.co.uk and post on the helicopters/vacancies forum.

There are lots of us out there, quietly getting on with it.

Offer £45k pa, good shift system and 25 days holiday.....and a few heads might pop up!

[smudgethecat]

45k? i hope thats plus shift appoval pay etc

[nodrama]

No, including. Permy, non-offshore, in UK....that's about as good as it gets at the moment.

[smudgethecat]

Good job im a fixed winger then!:ok:

[TURIN]

Oy Smudge, mind letting us in on the gravy train.

Who is offering more than 45k on a perm Uk contract for a standard weeks work.

I know one can make a lot more with O/T but a standard contract?

Do tell. :ok:

[henrymonster]

No shifts and not off-shore

[up the creek]

how many are you looking for and what part of the country?

[nodrama]

Looking at the helicopter types mentioned, I would hazard a guess at Gloucester, Thruxton or Redhill?

I`ve been out of work since January, but I`m only licenced on light fixed wing planes. Are they taking on unlicenced mechanics- I`ll work for free for the first month- honest!

Turin, i happen to have the pay scales for engineers for a few of the main uk operators, the highest salaries appear to be for line engineers with either B1 or B2, all company types held, working a 48 hr 4 on 4 off shift ,a couple of companies are paying around 51k, however that said the working week is 48 hrs which would suggest perhaps some overtime is built into the package, id say around 45K being the mean, however of course many people are making a lot more when overtime, overseas detchments etc are taken into account

[henrymonster]

Not a secret. gloucester.

[quichemech]

That will be Rise then.

So no pension either?

What about the 2 lads getting the push from Veritair?

I'm sure JP could get hold of their details without too much trouble.

Yeh! put an ad in the Flt International mag or the Aberdeen P&J. However Rotorcraft wages are very competative and if you are looking at extracting someone as permanent staff then the salary has to match/better the North Sea.:ok:
