Massive thanks for all the replies, I think the best option will be to accept and see what else happens, as many said, there's no guarantee I'll get anything else, so this might be my actual perm job for a while. It's engineering and the industry is deemed "dirty" for a lack of a better word, filled with rather, lets say "rough" types, so interactions might get nasty / heated etc. Throughout my career I always avoided this sector as it's rather uninteresting and I don't really want it on my CV as sectors tend to "stick" and can affect getting jobs outside.
Btw still haven't heard from #2 even though they are aware I have an offer from #1 and getting any info about the job from #3 seems impossible (at this point I don't even know where the job is or what salary it is). It seems that #1 are keen to get me on board and I might be their only candidate at this point, but sooner or later they'll realise what is going on.
To make things a bit more complicated I've heard that a contract position I was after and lost got slightly re-written (whatever that means) and that they are now considering me for the role, so I have an interview lined up for Friday. Of course if this goes ahead it trumps everything, but there's still a risk it might get canned, so having a perm backup just in case would work well.
