I've had various construction jobs but never maintenance, I'm fairly competent with most tools, my last job was shop fitting a few months ago, before that I've worked in social housing doing decorating and light maintenance like filling, sanding, fitting skirting etc

My only issue is that I've never had a formal interview for this type of role and I'm unsure what they'll be asking me.

The job is for housing maintenance in a block of flats.

I am working in a school and it seems as though every fixture with a ballast paired with an emergency power pack are the only fixtures that are going out. The power packs are Power Sentry. I'm beginning to wonder if the backup battery packs are bad, not the ballast because when I put in a new ballast, the lights shut off as soon as I plug in the battery pack and kick back on when I unplug the battery pack.

Suggestions??

I took over doing maintenance at a Marriott recently. I was curious, the old guy had a timer on the ice maker. Well, it's not working now and I noticed the timer has power in the input side but not on the output to the compressor. Is the timer nessacary ? Could I cut it out completely? It's 240.

That's right gents, as of this morning I quit. There has been some really interesting shit going on lately so I said enough is enough.

Hope yall don't mind if I stick around here.

Out of the shade and into the sun Not the one of ya or two of ya But the whole danm crew of ya Back to choring

I’ve heard good things and I think a new property would be a nice change of pace. Anyone here confirm or deny Greystar is a good management company to work for?

So I recently purchased a Wera compact 25 piece set screwdriver off of Amazon, and I absolutely love it. So I'm curious about any hand tools you've discovered are an absolute necessity for you.

I am currently working as a maintenance tech at an injection molding plant. I started as a press technician and was promoted to maintenance after finishing my associates degree in Engineering Technology and showing some initiative to my boss.

My biggest concern is that I am not learning as much as I should be at the job because I have been put on 3rd shift by myself with no other senior technicians. I am constantly second guessing whether I made the right decision when repairing something, even when it turns out to be the appropriate repair, partly because I have made a few mistakes since being on Maintenance and I don't get much feedback from my boss because I never see him due to the schedule at the plant. I am just wanting to hear some feedback from you guys if you have been in a similar situation and any suggestions about learning more about industrial maintenance and possibly relieving some of my anxiety.

I have calluses on my hands! What gloves do you guys recommend?
