    Capito

    Take the fixed term contract cos these are only rollouts lasting a few days in new schools in Edinburgh(be August when the next one starts). Your amongst the sainted if you can get a contract longer than 2 months just now. Onyx will be looking for 10 engineers for the new data centre they are building in Edinburgh. You'll need strong server support skills tho'

    What are you working on for Capito as I used to work in BT as deployment manager on the desktop refresh part of SRD and we used Capito extensively within the City of Edinburgh Council. I'm back in Edinburgh but have been looking for a contract now with no luck over the last 6 months, about to agree to a one of these dreaded fixed term contracts - if you know if any contract work going i'd appreciate a heads up

    Same here, kind of. Done 0 days this financial year but accepted 4 days next Fri-Mon doing a factory rollout. Wouldn't normally want to do it 90 miles away and I'll mostly be commuting, but it's worth doing it as it's with a company that can lead to other things so will help to be known to them.

    How I'm going to drag myself out of bed at 6.30 on a Sunday I don't know...

    5 days is better than 0 days! Hope it leads to more.
