Where as me I'm from a complete different background and really happy they considered people like me.

So all in all there a good chance we may be having a crack at all aspect of the job eventually and be classed as engineers. I'll be honest with u all I'm mostly bothered what van I'll be able to take home if any, I don't really fancy commuting to a depot every morning to use vehicles that have to be stored ie cherry pickers. It would be a lot nicer having a van parked up at home haha
You guys keep mentioning cherry pickers, how come? There are specific teams that are cherry picker drivers and that's all they do. You won't be driving a cherry picker! If you need one at any point you call one of those guys and they'll come and help you.

You'll either get one of those little Fiats with the dinosaurs and spacemen on the side or you'll get a standard Ford Transit and you'll be able to park it at home if you want. Little tip, but very important-never, ever be tempted to use your van for anything other than commuting to work and working. They are tracked and you WILL get sacked, even if you do it once.
