gas meter contract

[fishing4evermore]

Hi All, first time post i have been offered interview at carillon plc, ref gas meter exchange work london, does anyone have any experience in this line of work. Does it involve soldering, re-routing pipework, also is it worth commuting from manchester and staying in digs, dont want to burn my bridges in manchester and losing my local work. approx how many meters can be fitted per day p.s. is andytheplumber still doing gas meters.

thanks neil :

Growth industry very likely NG are about to drop meter installs altogether this year due to an ageing work force and matching work levels to manpower to save taking people on and training them.

Yes it will involve soldering and a little bit of pipework alteration.
With good planning its not hard to do well over 20 a day with sh@te planning and awkward positions it could drop to 10
