We are looking for an experienced Electrical Engineer to join the IET Family!

 

The job advert only went up a week ago Zoom? Of course we wouldn't have recruited someone already! The recruitment process can take at least two months when you take into consideration the interview process timelines and the notice period of any successful candidate. We certainly wouldn't have someone already in position within days of the job being advertised... ?


I'm not aware of how many people are 'banging on the door' so to speak as I don't work in our HR dept and are not party to that kind of information... ?

Here's a mild introduction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjF-9In3hqU

Them Grimshaw Ferret Fur Fettler machines made a racket.

A real Furring and Fettling machine takes flat metal sheet at one end and produces a profiled section at the other by repeated rolling (furring), and then de-burrs it (part of fettling).
A video of a furring rig that turns flat strip into top hat sections   (Not made by Messrs  Grimshaw,  Ferret & Co. but the set up looks suitably pre HSE  visit)  it does rather look like this one is missing the hopper at the back to collect the chopped off operator's fingers, but at least with all the guards off you can see more clearly the operation of the successive rolling processes. In the EU such a thing would be considerably better guarded, but then you would not see how it works.

The sort of metal channels and things that end up in suspended ceilings can be made this way.



edit I'm sort of waiting for all the off topic drift to be stripped out of this thread and moved to somewhere else.
