£16 per hour fitting trunking and cat5e data cables. 10 hour day and running up and down stairs, and standing all day. And getting paid extra for weekends.

Own tools and cscs card needed

Id do it but have early osteoarthritis and is it worth fucking my health up.

£16 per hour for running cat5 is decent, but trunking is a sparks job and that’s way too low to be expected to do that.

Can you ask for reasonable adjustments under the equality act?

If it's a job your keen on it's always worth asking questions.

Some might view it as a job that would make them fitter and stronger.

Would the physical exertion be a good or bad thing for your condition?

If you’re initial mindset is that of worry and possible health issues, then I wouldn’t take it. Your mindset won’t be right

Generally I find running Cat5e an easy job, but it depends where you're running it. If you're cabling at 2nd fix then it'll be a doddle, if you're wiring an old building with limited access, then it can be an absolute pain in the arse.

Trunking is a whole other question, if it's just a bit of maxi for containing the cat 5 then it's not too bad, but if you're installing Dado-Trunking around a room for the electrics to go in too then that is a more skilled job (if it's going to be tidy) and the Sparky should be doing it...

If you need your own tools and a CSCS card, in all probability it's not an employed job. You will be self employed. That means tax, Ni, transport, public liability insurance, tools will have to be taken into account when looking at that £16 per hour. £16 an hour when your self employed is rubbish.

It’ll be contracting. They will be on price so if the dead line is pushing out you’ll put the hours in. Kroning 100’s of data points isn’t something I miss, cross eyes is certain

As someone who lives with chronic pain, I would say no, not worth it.

You'll pay for it later, or sooner than you would if you didn't do something so hard on your body.

Yes that's what I was thinking.. I'll pay for it later in life with reduced cartilage now it'll get worse.. I was told it's physically demanding and long hours

If you are out of work, maybe consider taking it temporarily while you look for other work. Sometimes easier to get another job while you are still working and you will be learning new skills while you are there.
