How many years experience do you have?

 

Tickets these days don't mean much too me, they just tick certain boxes, I worked with a lad not so long ago that had LOTS and he thought because of the tickets he should command top whack, the truth was he was very green and fairly useless.

I assume you're talking about Glendale. In which case you won't be paying for any saws or their up keep. I know other companies that insist on you buying and maintaining your own.

Going rate unfortunately. Least you get holiday pay, sick pay, pension soon (if not now) use work vehicle all day, use company saws/equipment etc, all PPE supplied. It won't be taxing work all day everyday. 8 hours then go home an forget about it, for a second climber it seems like an alright deal.

Moz, u an I both know you wouldn't work for that :)

 

You're right BUT when I had 5 years experience I was probably on about that pal

I was a lead climber on utility work for a couple of years, had a 3man team including myself, held permits, fitted earths and had all my certs. All for £8 an hour and I know it would have been another year before I saw any rise...they payed for all my certs and gear and were a great bunch of guys but the money was piss poor so I left. Seems to vary quite a bit over the country
