twobears Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 I'm just being nosey really and wondering if anyone here works in the automotive industry and, if so, in what capacity? Quote
twobears Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 DoogyRev, you could do both!! Zugara, can you say what area or is it top secret? Quote
DoogyRev Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Yep. Did not know you drive a compressor mate Quote
Wasso Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Yep. Did not know you drive a compressor mate Have you not seen the latest craze?? No motor industry for me. Finance and Detailing, oh and polishing, signature making, erm, hoovering, cook dinner twice a week oh and have a few drinks whilst watching the WRC just realised I've drunk all the whiskey from the Wales raffle Quote
MattH Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 I work in automotive recruitment if that counts! Quote
twobears Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 Wasso, I feel as though I know you after that potted history of your life I think I will PM you actually as I have a question ... atkin666, yay, and I can tell at a glance what it is that you do, thanks to your signature MattH, that sounds intriguing, if somewhat mysterious. What type of people are you trying to recruit? Quote
SteveW Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Yes, Cummins Turbo Technologies. I have the most ridiculous job title though.... So let's just say engineering Quote
MattH Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Automotive Engineers of all disciplines. Project managers/engineers, design, quality, test engineers, CAE etc. Quote
twobears Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 Don't be so coy SteveW. I think we'd all like to hear about your official job title Personally, I am a company director with special responsibility for cleaning the lavatories and making tea, although not both at the same time Thanks Matt. I am looking for someone with a particular skill set but it isn't easy to find. Now I am the one being mysterious Come on then zebedee8, tell me more please Quote
Chris AME Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Come on then spill the beans on this skill set Quote
ATTAK Z Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 My eldest does ... helped with the design of the Bentley GT and GTC ... and is now working in Oz for Ford ... very proud of him Quote
MattH Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Thanks Matt. I am looking for someone with a particular skill set but it isn't easy to find. Now I am the one being mysterious Do go on... Edit: Fiver says he is looking for someone who can steal a car Quote
JackStrong Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Used to work for HKS Now changed to aerospace BAE Quote
twobears Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 I'm not a he and I'm definitely not looking for someone to steal a car I can't say what I am looking for because I'm looking on behalf of someone else. I can say that the person that is needed would have to have particular IT skills and be interested in/already involved in the automotive industry in some capacity. Hope that narrows it down a tiny bit? Sorry for all the cloak and dagger stuff. I'm not trying to be deliberately annoying. Quote
MattH Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Where has my last post gone :o Oh I see, so you're having a go at recruiting yourself! How are you finding it? ha. And sorry for calling you a man Quote
glrnet Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 We heard you the first time , oh, and I do I'm not a he and I'm definitely not looking for someone to steal a car I can't say what I am looking for because I'm looking on behalf of someone else. I can say that the person that is needed would have to have particular IT skills and be interested in/already involved in the automotive industry in some capacity.

twobears Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 Ooops! I seem to be repeating myself somewhat Recruiting is very hard It's my husband who needs to hire someone but I thought I'd try to help as he can't seem to find the right person and I have a vested interest in the company too! He's seeing two people later this week so one of them might fit the bill but if not ... I have found him potential candidates for previous posts but this one does need a pretty strong candidate with very specific skills. Quote
CrustyCrab Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 I do, Design Engineer for McLaren Automotive on CAD. Quote
