What is your skill, Intruder ? And what does your current employer do?

Sorry, Intruder alarms and CCTV is my best skill. Scantronic,menviers,galaxy,texecom, Hik vision,concept pro to name a few. Door access, only touched net2 plus, abit of Videx.

 

As above the company does. I service the odd fire alarm panels.

Agency? Forget it,if you haven't built up a rep in the industry and have plenty of contacts I'd stay where you are,subby rates are not that great so you will be up against  plenty of lads who are quick and know the game 

Thanks mate, i kinda new where I am now at this time might be tough out there.

If you want to sub you need to be able install, no-one needs a subbie service engineer. They have to have employed service engineers for the call outs. 

 

If you cant install you have no chance of getting any work sorry 

This the answer I needed. I can install alarms and cameras no problem, I just haven't had a install role. So from your answer I guess I need to get a install role and get more experience before going out. I do my own bits at the weekend so I know I more the capable but on a larger scale I'm not sure?  Thanks

Good evening all, 

 

I'v joined to seek advice and info on going self employed and becoming a sub contractor. Im currently working in a small firm as a Service engineer/days works. My question is, If I get my own van/insurance etc Do companies seek for the same role (days/service engineers)  ? Is there any good Agency that can provide work ?    

 

 

Regards

Eric
