Rad-Ghost, the current actual level 20 pay grade is just under $30 an hour. That will change with the new cost of living wage to just above $30  an hour. I disagree with dropping the notice until you have positive options. ( I am speaking from too much experience in this area.) You need to "make before break" if possible. I also examine my options and make sure the pot I am getting into isn't worse than the one I am in. I hate working next to some slug making more money than I am, but if my option is either not working or working for less, I bite the bullet. While one would argue this isn't what is best for the industry, it is what is best for me. The only one in the industry which watches out for me is me.  I can not rely on the goodness of strangers.

I have worked with contractors, or a contractor at SRS who has been qualified to the basic level of a house tech and in many ways was considered MORE qualified than house techs, having responsibilities we did not have. It is not a site policy, but one that is up to the facility manager as to how much they want to invest in the short term for someone who is not going to be here in the future.

Not only is SRS looking for 150 contractors, they want them all to be experienced seniors with CORE certification and can jump right in and start from day one (after a few days of JPMs.) House techs who have worked here before and left under dubious circumstances have been hired back. These are people I would not of hired back with my low standards.

So, I guess the bottom line is, if you can swing a meter, but have been a problem child in the past, welcome back. Reminds me of the times when Bruce would give "blanket amnesty" to people on the "double-secret probation list" so he could staff outages without having NSS doing a backup.  ( Yes, Eric, we know there was no secret about who was on the list, it is just something we called it because it had that same "Animal House" stupidity to it.)

  My wife and I have both receieved start dates with ACTS at SRS as RCT's.I was wondering if anyone has started recently and found a significant difference in pay between companies for RCT pay.Thanks for any replies.

New contract RCTs would be well advised to study the SRS CORE study guide before arriving. They are having a pretty high failure rate right now. It's not worth coming here to get turned away over the test.

tntplayer:
Does anyone have contact information for getting on at SRS as a Senior RCT? I would like to talk with someone that actually makes the decisions to hire someone or not. Can anyone help?

johnnieslingshot:
Each area out here has a hiring manager.  The resumes are submitted to the manager when he/she asks for them.  As far as contractor/vendors go, only send your resume to the one you want to pay you.  Procurement will award the contract to the contractor who pays the least.  Out here that is usually ACTS.  Most folks seem to be happy with NORAMTEC.  If you need to talk with somebody on site then I would talk with Jerry Denton at 803-208-0969.  He should be able to give you some good info.
