About time someone asked a question that I know something about!
I am now retired but all my working life I have been into instrumentation and control systems, apart from a spell in the army. So there isn't much I don't know about the trade.
Yes, that must sound like I'm a big headed g*t doesn't it?
How to make a career out of the job?
1st get qualified, City and Guilds Instrumentation will do as a starter, then try and work your way up ONC HNC etc.
I don't know where you stand at the moment what job your presently doing or anything about you, so really I cant go into much detail.
However you will also need 'field' experience as you are going to tech or where ever so you need to look around for a suitable job in that trade, it is important that the job is something to do with instruments, no matter how humble or what sort of cr*p pay they are offering to start. Experience is almost as important as qualifications. Then work your way up, sounds easy doesn't it?
This is turning into a cr*p answer, but I need more info, send me your full email address with a few more details and I can maybe help you out a bit.
I have worked all over the UK and overseas doing this job and never regretted any of it, it really is a cushy little number and the money is more than any other trade job that I know of. And the best part is you will never be out of work. A good instrument tech is as rare to find as rocking horse sh*t.
We instrument men(Gods) dont usually use that sort of foul langauge, we leave that to sparks and pipe fitters!!!!
Hope this helps?
