Anyone looking for a Maintenance Managers job in Devon, just handed my notice in for a new job and they are advertising soon its here www.boveycastle.com sorry dont know how to link
u2u me if interested

You have u2u

Any job would be great.

If you feel there is some correlation between managing a chemical laboratory, and skills that are required in your ex-position.... please U2U me. You're the best judge of that one, a PhD seems to be a great limiter for my 'acceptance' within the non-scientific job market.

While I'm here, if anyone else is moving on (jobwise) from somewhere in Cornwall (or even Devon), I am now somewhat desperate... being unemployed just isn't a good thing.

Sorry i dont think there would anything to suit your skills except looking after the swimming pool (thats about the most there is to do with chemicals)
But they are a big employer and always have positions open for more run of the mill type jobs.
