Is the bottom line salary most important?
Would you prefer shorter site hours 9 to 5 perhaps?

    I’ve just been speaking to a colleague of mine - and he was offered £88k+ to stay (contract). This was at a Nuclear Power Station.

    Now that’s very tempting....considering it’s only about 30 miles away.

    OK so the world has gone mad. Did anybody say you shouldn’t enjoy it and make a good living out of it? Just make sure you’ve got a contingency plan in place in case the wheels fall off.

    Prepare to become even more insane,

    Things should only get better for planners who work in the UK. I mean, all the work from the olympic village, massive defence projects and £72+ billion of nuclear decommissioning in the next 30-50 years, theres gonna be enough work to go around a very long time!

    The only thing with big salary’s is a big tax bill.
    It is going crazy for planners, but to find good ones that is the quest.

    Send your CV to UK recruiters and see whats results..

    Being recruiter ( suppose), I will never accept your CV whether u have 50 years experience in this industry being most aggressive and emotional personal in this forum if I go with your character as I see your all postings in PP
