Anyone with experience in boiler operation but not quite meeting the above requirements could enquire as experience in attending and firing large boilers under supervision can be given. THE PAY: Nominal salary for an Assistant Operator is $3052 p.a. Shift Allowances, penal rates, etc., for the shift roster (normally a total of 168 hours worked per 4 weeks) bring gross earnings to over $4200. Good houses are available for just over $4 per week including power. Usual Public Service annual leave and superannuation conditions apply. Financial assistance given with household removal costs. THE PROSPECTS: Steam power generation is expanding rapidly, with New Plymouth little over two years away and larger stations beyond that. Promotion is on merit (i.e. no rigid seniority system) and prospects for advancement are very good for those with an aptitude for operating who are prepared to study for the necessary certificates for which every assistance and encouragement will be given.
