    BRITISH GAS JOB REFUSAL!!!

    Are HES the old EON? If so, stay away, they haven't got a clue. That goes for the AA too. If BG aren't taking Contractors at the moment then try someone who works Social Housing Contracts.

    BRITISH GAS JOB REFUSAL!!!

    Depends on the appliance and MI's. The Field Terminal is full of info, and a very very good bit of kit. For instance, BBU & Fire is a full strip and clean, gas fires are full strip and clean ( check catchment etc ) . Modern condensing boilers are as MI's and British Gas Operational Procedures...

    BRITISH GAS JOB REFUSAL!!!

    Any van will do as long as it's presentable and roadworthy. When I worked for Saints and RIG it was £21 a completed service, and £41 a completed breakdown. They did retain something like 8% and then you'd get that back 28 days later if your recall rate was ok. I'm in Wilts and Oxon...

    Yes, and BG came out better than most. We had an email from the head sheds last week about it. Seriously, does anyone ever follow MI's to the letter when servicing? If someone says they do, then I'm smelling something bovine!

    You just follow BG's Operational Procedures regarding ASV's. Same as following SOP's and JSP's . It's not rocket science, it's all about safety. And doing a good job. Customers love it when the Hoover makes an appearance!! :-)

    BRITISH GAS JOB REFUSAL!!!

    I was a subbie, then went to the AA after they dumped all of us, went for a full time job back at BG and got knocked back. I then subbied again before I was taken on as permanent staff. So it shouldn't really make a difference to you. The benefit of being a sub contractor first is that you get...

    BRITISH GAS JOB REFUSAL!!!

    You'll have to do a technical assessment. I did mine online and then it progressed. If you get accepted you'll go on a contractor induction at one of the Academies. I did ASV's and IB's so my day was varied. As your a newcomer you'll be doing ASV's primarily. You get paid per appliance, so you...

    BRITISH GAS JOB REFUSAL!!!

    Bit of advise, from my personal experience, ref : BG application. Check out Rig Energy, or Saints Personell. They recruit subbies for BG. I joined the Gas Board in 85, left in 91. After various jobs I returned to the UK in 2010 and started sub contracting 5 days a week at BG. They binned all...
