​
All engineers are paid from door-to-door. They log in to our systems to start traveling to the first job and then log off when they arrive home from the last job.
On average our engineers benefit from 10 hrs overtime a week. This is usually achieved through planned works. This is paid at time and a half at the evenings and on Saturday and double time on Sundays and Bank Holidays.
​
There's also a regional on-call rota that would be 1 in 5. So every fifth week we would expect you to be available to be called out. A payment is made to anyone on call irrespective of whether hey are called out or not. If called out out of hours overtime rates would apply.
