British Gas - Trainee smart meter expert

Maintenance Engineer and Commander of a Challenger 2 Tank. Really enjoyed it, but with government cuts, a lot of high paid guys like myself were made redundant.

Asif, thats mint. Oh well onwards and upwards. Heres hoping all of us from the waiting list get picked up in the next couple of months

Unfortunately that's the government for you. I think if you've been put on the list, you will no doubt about it be placed on a course, just a matter of when.

I've cut quite a lot back as I was on 1500, but in the long run it will be worth it.

Just come across the site an I to have an assessment day on the 16th. Anybody from Peterborough/Huntingdon/Fens area and got the assessment in Dartford - Hilton? Seems a bit far when I have seen Leicester mentioned? Also, what's the parking situation at the Hilton? Cheers

I'm at the Dartford assessment centre on the 16th - Anyone else here going to be there?

What's the van like, cheap and cheerful or modern with bluetooth etc? And do u have to pay for it?

It's a brand new VW caddy, it's got Bluetooth but your not allowed to use it when driving to speak on the phon but I use it for my iPod. No nothing at all, you get 2 fuel cards and if you get any problems with it you ring a company up and they come and fix it

Thats cool. I wouldnt use it for calls anyway but i suppose they wouldnt know if u did anyway. That's good because my bro works for sky and about 100 a month gets deducted from his wage to pay for the van but because of that he pays less tax or something. It's definitely 100% free, the van? If he gets any van problems he has to take it all the way to leeds from scarborough, so it's great that they come to you with british gas! Wonder why you would need two fuel cards. Is there anywhere that doesnt accept them? I really hope i come off the waiting list asap and get this job now!

Still after that number if anyones got it?

0113 254 8282 That's for Leeds just ask for recruitment

Yeah 100 free, but you can't use it for personal use so I don't know if your brother is allowed. Ones a BP card which is who they prefer you to fill up with (they have a deal with them to get cheaper fuel) the other ones for everywhere else. I would of thought you would mate, they doubling the amount of courses at Leeds next year so if your on the waiting list I would of thought you have a great chance

Bloody hope so lol. Yeah he gets a certain mileage allowance but if goes over it he has to pay a fair bit. But because nobody up at hq is going to check the distance to and from every single job he does each month, he uses it however he wants as long as he doesnt exceed the mileage allowance. Which i imagine bg to be the same? Not that im planning on it as i already have a car, but just cant see them checking up on the mileage for 2000 bg employees.
