[QUOTE="revjames, post: 475040, member: 5256"] Pressure is something you need to be able to cope with in maintenance work. As has been said, having people standing over you asking how long will it be when you have no clue as to whats wrong is never a good scenario. Most maintenance sparks have had apprenticeships in industry and have sort of grown up with the sort of environment you describe. I'm not sure how you can go in one fell swoop from being an installer to repairing motors, PLC and related equipment, inverter drives, hydraulics , pneumatics etc. I don't want to be negative. Perhaps one way would be as part of a team where you are not the only spark on a shift so you could gradually find your way. Not sure if thats possible but hope you find what you are looking for in any case. Relaxed is what it is between breakdowns. My job is relaxed, lamp chhanges etc until the inevitable breakdown (which is why they have us in the first place) happens and thats where we really earn our money. [/QUOTE]
