I know I posted this question originally, but I have now moved employers...whoopee...!!!
When I was working for a contractor recently and mainly in theatres access was and still is a pain.
Yes we would gown up and wait it out, but usually weekends were no better! For then the private lists came to be done. So access was still denied. As I understood it the company I left recently, had negotiated contracts on a 9am-5pm basis. It was then down to the induvidual engineer to gain access when it suited him if outside these hours..
Some EBME departments even asked if extra monies were paid could it be done outside normal working hours..? But these were few and far between..
Generally a field service engineer will do what ever is required to satisfy both the client and themselves.. we all have lives outside of work don't we ????
Or is the old cherry do " You live to work?, or work to live " not applicable here ??
All the best boy's!!
