Promoting Tradesman Jobs in Singapore When I was on the ITE Board of Governors, I was told that part time/night class students (ie people who have actually worked and know what the market wants) gravitate towards aircon technician courses. Tradesman skills are underappreciated in Singapore. But as I have written before, HVAC (not just aircon, but also heating) is a growth industry worldwide. Aircon because of global warming. Heating (yes, even in Singapore) because there is a need to move towards more efficient ways of heating water and for other industrial uses, eg by using heat pumps. In fact, I predict that in the coming decades, aircon repair will be classed as an emergency response service because of extreme heat, just like it is in the Middle East. I wish Mr Ho Boon Ping all the best in his aircon business. He is fortunate to have had a good boss and training opportunities. BTW, I absolutely agree with him about aircon contractors making unnecessary suggestions like topping up aircon refrigerant annually or whenever it is not cold. Look, the refrigerant pipes are a closed loop system. If refrigerant is running low, it means there is a leak somewhere. What is needed is some sort of gas that can be pumped into concealed aircon pipes that will solidify at the point of leak - does anyone know what this could be? Have heard of something like it before but could never find the product name. "While browsing through the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) website for courses I could apply for, it occurred to me that with Singapore being such a hot and humid country, we can’t live without air-conditioning. So I opted for a Nitec in Facility Technology (Air-Conditioning & Refrigeration), which I started in April 2010. During the course, I went on an exchange programme at Box Hill Institute in Melbourne, Australia, where I saw women and many locals in blue-collar jobs. I was even more surprised to hear that plumbers, electricians, and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) technicians were in demand in Australia. In May 2013, I started working for Stulz (Singapore) — a German air-conditioning services firm — as a service engineer. There, I learnt a lot about computer room air-conditioning and how temperature, humidity and airflow can affect machine performance. Stulz also sent me to Hamburg, Germany, for a week of training at its headquarters. It was an eye-opening experience. There, I also noticed that many of their technicians are locals as well." "It gives me great satisfaction when my customers give me good feedback on my work, and when I manage to solve their air-conditioning problems. To me, machines can’t do a hands-on job like mine. You need to be able to think on your feet. I feel that there will be great demand for skilled workers (plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians and so on), especially when fewer people are taking up such jobs."

Work Life Balance Continued : (4) Just imagine the following Professions: Petrochemical Shift Supervisors or Shift Superintendents : Working 12 hours per day, either day shift or nite shift. Accountants : Long hours until 12 midnite due to account monthly closing especially at the end of the month, plus yearly account closing. Petrochemical Turnaround Engineers : Long hours until 12 midnite during 2 - 3 months Plant Turnaround. Offshore Oil Platform Superintendents : 2 weeks at the Oil Platform & 2 weeks with families. Engineers in charge of International Operations like in Middle East or Russia : 5 years tenure, leaving families behind. Engineers working in Petrochemical Plants in Kerteh, but the wife working at KLCC. Have to commute during weekends only. (5) The most important thing is quality times. Some Professionals have plenty of time at home after work from 6 pm until midnite, but most of the time they are just resting, enjoying Astro hours and hours while eating French fries. They don't even bother to monitor their kids' school revisions. On the other hand, some Professionals arrive home at 9 pm, but they utilise efficiently the time from 10 pm until 12 am monitoring their kids' school revisions. (6) To be continued..... Stay tune.

"I'm proud that we can offer the services that we do. I work really hard at being a professional and doing the best job I can, so when I walk out that door, our tenant can turn around and say 'I've had the service I deserve, and the service I wanted' - and I'm proud of that." A big thanks to our Lead Electrician, Chris, for talking to us about what it's like to work as an electrician at the Group recently. Chris said: "One of the aspects of this role that I really enjoy, apart from the electrical engineering, is meeting and engaging with different people everyday. You talk to them about where they've been and what they've done. The social contact is fascinating and varied. "As an electrician working in peoples' homes, you do get a different understanding of our tenants and their needs. As well as the electrical support, you can also suggest some of the other things available to them from Progress, and say 'let me see what I can do to help you with that.' So, working in social housing, you get more out of the role than just changing the socket or light fitting. "I'd recommend working for Progress for the hours that suit, the stable wage, the interesting work, the chance to do a great job for people who need the help, and the team comradery. I know, if I need a hand, whether it's an electrical issue, or I need a second opinion, that I can pick up the phone and someone from the team will come and support me. And that's exactly what you need." Thanks Chris! You can watch and/or listen to our full interview with Chris, over on our YouTube channel 😊 https://loom.ly/Cz5Lquw If you've been inspired by Chris' interview and are interested in working for Progress Housing Group, we've got an electrician vacancy available now. You can view this vacancy, and others, on our 'work for us' pages on our website.

When I started work as an apprentice gas fitter in July 1975, I thought today would be the day I retire. Truth is I semi-retired several years ago and the Government has pushed back my pension by one year. I did think today would be a good day to say a special thank-you to a few specific people who helped me during my career in the gas industry. I also became acquainted with many colleagues over the years, too many to mention, but suffice to say from Ann to Zarate (Alfredo) I remember you all. First credit goes to Tom Campbell who recruited me into the gas industry and nurtured me through my early years. After 10 years “on the tools” I got my first office job at the Technical Services department at West Midlands Gas HQ. I have John Williams to thank for this promotion. My first 14 years in the gas industry had been spent in the service departments but in 1989 when there was a move for distribution fitters to install gas meters, I was promoted into the engineering directorate. Richard Pratt identified how transferable my skills were and recruited me has an Assistant Engineer. Within 3 years I had moved on into National Transmission within BG HQ. With responsibility of coordinating of new CCGT connections Ken Reid took me under his wing. Up till now my roles had all been engineering based but as part of this role I participated in negotiations for gas transportation agreements to power stations. Tony Saul spotted my interest and understanding of the agreements and recommended my recruitment into Gas Transportation services. In 1996, I think in part to my broad range of knowledge, Peter Lyons, recommended my transfer onto the MMC enquiry team. I also worked on the final negotiation of the implementation of the MMC findings with OFGAS with Brian Withington. Brian subsequently recruited me into the newly formed Regulatory department within Transco. Steve Copley led the MMC enquiry and during this time he identified with my ability and in 1999 recruited me into the HQ Business Development department. During this time two telecoms’ businesses were formed and later I joined one a director working for Steve. He shared a piece of wisdom with me that has served me well “In the face of disappointment see opportunity”. My career in what was British Gas came to an end in 2003 when I was made redundant. Remembering Steve’s words, I looked for new opportunities rather than climb back on the corporate ladder. Despite my involvement in a few voluntary and Board member positions I became intellectually bored, and consultancy came a calling. My final mention goes to Bob Bruce, an acquaint for many years. In 2008 he asked if I would be interested in a two-week assignment in Nigeria. Two-weeks turned into three weeks which turn into over eight years. My Nigerian experience provided many memories and meeting many more notable characters. The final unintended consequences of my time in Nigeria resulted me in meeting my wife.

Strategies for Experienced Professionals in Career Progression : (16) As Professionals, do you aim to be a Technical Profesional ( Specialist) or a Manager? Some Professionals prefer to work on machines & equipments directly, conducting troubleshooting, solving technical problems, rather than managing people. In Oil & Gas Big Corporations like Petronas, they have 2 career ladders for staff progression i. e. Technical Ladder and Managerial Ladder. It's up to the staff to choose which one, their prerogatives after all. But latest policy in Petronas, those Technical staff like Engineers & HSE must be certified first as Technical Profesionals prior to being promoted as Managers. It's Petronas Internal assessments by highly competent existing Technical Profesionals and Technical Profesional Principals. Such policy ain't applicable to Non Technical staff like Accountants, HRM, Finance, Procurement, Public Affairs, etc. In fact, those Technical Profesionals Certified & Technical Profesional Principals Certified supercede Master Degree Holders, PHD Holders, SHO Green Book, Ir or PEng, Steam Engineer Grade 1 or 2, ICE Engineer Grade 1 or 2, Chargeman High Voltage or Low Voltage, IETS, in terms of Personal Grades ( Salaries). Time duration for Engineers to be promoted as Technical Profesionals is about 10 to 12 years depending on their technical competencies. With the presence of our Local Technical Profesionals and Technical Profesional Principals, the company won't rely anymore in hiring Foreign Expatriates. The highest level would be Custodians, whose salaries would be at par as General Managers' salaries. (17) To be continued........ Stay tune.

Hello LinkedIn friends and colleagues! Certifications have become invaluable assets in today's rapidly evolving job market, offering professionals a clear path to enhancing their skills, advancing their careers, and boosting their earning potential. However, a common question we hear is, “How much will this REALLY impact my salary?” Questions about the return on investment (ROI) of certifications are important, and help professionals make the decisions that can help propel their careers forward. So, let’s look at the dollars and cents of professional certifications. Since my team and I currently create certifications related to electrical safety (as well as many others), I’m going to look at someone who manages an electrical safety program and has earned the Certified Electrical Safety Compliance Professional certification. Indeed states that the average salary of an Electrical Safety Supervisor is $60,439 per year. Certifications can increase a person’s salary by 5-20%. If we assume the person starts at the average salary, maintains their certification, and experiences a 15% increase in salary every 5 years by leveraging their certification, here’s a breakdown of their estimated lifelong earnings: Years Annual Salary Cumulative Earnings 0-5 years --- $60,439 --- $302,195 5-10 years --- $69,499 --- $622,498 10-15 years --- $80,424 --- $995,673 15-20 years --- $93,433 --- $1,425,639 20-25 years --- $108,843 --- $1,954,455 25-30 years --- $126,915 --- $2,595,335 As you can see, the cumulative earnings increase significantly over time. Over a 30-year career, the Electrical Safety Supervisor who maintains and leverages their certification would make a total of $2,595,335, compared to $1,806,585 for someone without any certifications who earns the average salary. That's a difference of $788,750! While this is just a simple example, it demonstrates the power of certifications on a person's career journey. By investing in certifications throughout their career, the Electrical Safety Supervisor in this example significantly enhanced their earning potential and achieved greater financial success. #certification #advanceyourcareer #dollarsandsense
