Wasn't aware they still made hawks!  Sounds like an interesting job though!

Drainage Engineer for Thames Water best job iv ever had which I guess you wouldn't expect someone of works with foul water all day to say but its pretty good. I keep my van at home so just start work from my house and just go round doing jobs as and where i am needed, They provide me with all kinds of training.

 

ooo Thames Water friend  ;D

 

 

haha I see you live in abingdon where abouts do you work then? The yard I run out of is in Kiddlington although I don't go there much as I keep the van at home,

 

 

Luckily, I'm on the clean side :-) I work at Farmoor res, I'm not allowed to take a van home, so the mini is the daily!

Hawk T2 (AJT) is now in service. Great aircraft! Avionics are night and day against what the T1 had.

Domdee - I take it you work at Warton?

I work as a commercial Building Surveyor.

 

My day can vary from measuring and CAD drawing a simple factory unit, to weekly site visits meetings in a boardroom with clients building landmark properties.  

 

Every day is different, every problem has a different solution. Id say it has a good level practicality with a good level of communication.
