Congrats! There appears to be shed loads of Engineering jobs out there at the moment, it's like someone has turned a tap on! I start a new job after May Bank holiday ๐Ÿ˜€

Cheers,
Jamie

If anyone fancies a move to the area, it's worth knowing that McLaren are hiring 8)

Congrats on the job!

certainly +1 to the taps being turned on with engineering vacancies... my inbox has gone mental this last week.

NE England is screaming for engineers

Thanks Guys,

Yes RHB it is a very nice feeling

Nope not Nissan Trout, it's a very small, young company with a really neat patented technology that's just about to skyrocket. You wont see this technology but it will become very commonplace on the roads ๐Ÿ˜‰ I promise I will reveal more once I start.

Magic feeling isn't it... and even better to be able to ride to work. I just moved about 5 miles from work after almost 3 years of doing 80 miles a day... am loving being able to ride in, even if I have got soaked a few times!

As for engineering jobs, have noticed a pick up in spam from the agencies, but in some areas there have been shortages of engineers for a few years... I think we still have some vacancies unfilled from a couple of years ago!

That's great news.
I'm sure "you got the job contract's in the post" has more than four words so let's hope you don't have to count much.
Seriously though It's great to hear when someone gets good news like that.

Good result!
I have a feeling you'll be working in Exeter if it's whining thinking of. If so, fair play!

iolo... it was two separate phone convos... one with the "you got the" the other with "the contract" lol thus the four word count was sort of correct. Obviously there were a lot more words that in each convo ...

tinybits, this company is the other end of England almost literally!

Funnynick its weird but the jobs that I have been seeing up until recently have been VERY VERY specific about the qualifications and experience required (possibly too specific IMHO). Then all of a sudden (last week or so) they start looking for more of an "all-rounder" type, from the conversations I've had it looks like they are struggling to find this type of engineer, my degree is in Electronics but I've a lot of mechanical engineering experience as well as manufacturing and design.
