A gypsum mine in East Sussex (which is about 50 miles from the former Kent Coalfield) was advertising for Class 11 electricians, I applied as I have both Class 1 and 11 but, at a telephone interview, they decided I used my qwualifications too long ago!!!, they can't refuse you on age any more, but this appears to be a way around it!!
Incidentaly, where on earth are they going to get electricians with MQB class 1 or 11 now that virtually all the pits have closed?

Although I never went there, I do remember that the Rescue Teams from the Kent Collieries used to cover this mine and carried out exercises there

Incidentaly, where on earth are they going to get electricians with MQB class 1 or 11 now that virtually all the pits have closed? I don't think it's a condition of the M&Q Act Sam, as gypsum comes under the Miscellaneous Mines Act...The only person who requires a ticket was the Mine Manager... Things may have changed since I worked for BG and Boulby Mine. Boulby required the Mech and Elec Engineers to have a BSC as too the Manager, and shift supervisors had to have a Class2 ticket, but that was ICI's rules at that time. |
