Default Contract design engineers wanted....

On behalf of my other half:

must be able to start work pretty quickly

long term contract, in wales, 40 mins from Bristol. paying 24.50 per hour for a 45-50 hour week

If you are interested or know anyone else looking for work please PM your details and I will get her to call you.

Cheers

Glad I didn't go to uni

Yeah I was pretty shocked at £24.50 - I suppose far more people are qualified to do this sort of job these day.

Sounds pretty interesting though.

Make it £60/Hour and this very experienced Weapon/Aerospace Electronic/Mechanical Designer will consider a chat

£24:50 - you're looking at the lower end of the market there ........... especially to work in Wales

Err....£60/hr only equates to about £125k/year IF you worked every working day of the year.

You don't get paid holidays, you don't get NI contributions paid, you have to pay your tax on that too, you have to pay your own pension, and there is no long-term security of employment like a permanent position.
ie, it's not quite as good as it initally sounds.

£60/hr is a good contracting rate. We charge around £45/hr to our clients for software services.
