I lived and worked on a farm till I got apprenticeship as an Electrician.
Started by building industrial switchboards. Worked 3 different companies for 7.5 years including a move to Brisbane for 3.5 years
Then overseas for 6 months as a break
Then back to Dubbo where I worked for a company who specialised in Industrial automation for mills, bakeries and process works , also commercial and a little domestic for the owners of the plants. That lasted 13 years
For the past 4 years work for Essential energy .First 1.5 years as general Electrical Technician
I now deal with power quality which is basically dealing with customer complaints or issues everyone else has given up on, investigating and recording problems, Repairing or designing fixes for issues and reporting to the electrical ombudsman and internal entities
Best thing about this is my area covers almost 1/7 th on NSW landmass so get to see alot of rural areas with the occasional blitz and interesting "thing" sighting thrown in
