what happens when you took the practical in april 2017 and get a letter in oct 2017 before the list was even established but yet there is a list# on the letter with a TEMP position? can they hire you before the list is established? is there so much need that they call you before the list? the test I took was for signal maintainer Btw  ..I took my first drug test 2 weeks ago and I am in the middle filling out this 21 page packet

So it wasn't for the trainee position?

Alright man thanks for answering my question I appreciate it

Not saying you can't get into elevator escalator, but you have to meet the qualifications for the elevator escalator TEMM OPEN COMPETITVE test when the next NOE comes out, file for the test, take the practical, wait to be called, then go through the hiring process again.

And yes, once you complete your training service as a Signal Maintainer Trainee, you will become a signal maintainer without having to take further tests, as per the NOE for #7609.

Again, if you are temporary, it is temporary until otherwise notified.

My suggestion is if you like the culture down here, then become permanent first and figure it out from there.

Wait so we're not permanent after one year of probation and I got drafted to signal trainee so I can't get into elevators and escalators? Why not?

The practical comes when you apply for the promotion or open competitive position for either light maintainer, transit electromechanical maintainer (E&E or V&D), power distribution, power maintainer, eletronic equipment maintainer, or telephone maintainer.  Those are permanent positions.

Little tidbit, if you have not been drafted into Signal Maintainer Trainee, you have the opportunity to get into Elevator and Escalator.  Elevator and escalator SPECIALIST is one of the highest paying hourly positions in Transit.

Electronic Equipment Maintainer is also another well paying position.

Thank you. Going for final processing tomorrow? Make sure you have your 21 page booklet filled out, they will check it.

 

Bring a blue pen for pension documents.

 

Bring your original despositions for any criminal/traffic stuff.

 

Process was actually pretty straight forward. Good luck.

Jake3178 did they mention anything about class?

Same here I also went on monday

Yea we'll I know that I do and when I went they took the licences and that's what they used to call people but I mean im sure some people had just normal id cards because I read somewhere that they give you until final processing to get you licence I don't know how accurate that is but that's what I read somewhere on this forum for a totally diffent job I would link it but I don't remember I was just looking all over the forum.

So if you pass the drug screening are you on?

Wait so no light coloured shirts I was planing on wearing a light coloured blue dress shrit 

Is navy blue pants allowed? 

Oh alright 

What exactly was in the book?

Safety Proficiency Assessment: If you pass the education and experience test, you will be scheduled to take the qualifying safety proficiency assessment as vacancies occur. However, based on the projected number of vacancies, it is possible that not all candidates who pass the education and experience test will be scheduled for the qualifying safety proficiency assessment
