Basically, you start with an empty panel or a frame work and all of the various sections are mounted in or on the frame work, then the switchgear is added, then it all gets wired up and tested.

Its is more often than not based on a modular system and very rare that two are the same, unless it is for the shelf or a particular project.

Why are there jobs in this area going some where, I have many years of experience in the field and am not currently working. If you would like to share.
Cheers

So what?? Apply anyway. Do your homework go into that interview with a positive attitude. Explain that you are willing to work hard and learn. Your biggest asset is your attitude.

What have you got to loose??

I applied for a job for a permanent position as an instrument technician for a well known US pharmaceutical company in the 90s. The advertisement said that applicants must have a minimum of 5 years instrumentation experience. I had a few months experience and no formal training in that area, but still managed to get the job. Maybe I was just lucky, but perhaps you will be too.

i applied last week and never heared a dicky, unfortunatly in this climate employers can cherry pick who they want. i know alot of very qualified hard working tradesmen outa work that really shouldnt be,

myself im seriously thinking about relocating to aus if i can raise the funds unless i can nail something down here and i been trying day in day out for the guts of a year

Fair play for applying.
I thought you were not going to.

It is a bad situation alright. I had to work abroad for a few years myself.
I wish you luck.
