Thanks for feedback.
I have been thinking and stress too much about the positions and the your answers helps. Yes the position being a stopwatch on my reliability experience is one of my major concerns. The international travel with the NDT sounds exciting now and is a huge driver for the...
Thanks for the responses.
I dream of being a plant manager, but it isn't necessarily a strong goal. I just enjoy the hands on manufacturing atmosphere. I don't think I will get much failure exposure if I only work on a single piece of equipment. That is another concern. The traveling seems...
Thanks for the response.
My long term goal is to become a plant manager so it is not necessarily reliability engineering. I got offered a position doing NDT testing, and I am just worried that position isn't a step down from my past reliability engineering work. I am also worried that the...
I am a BS ME and I was recently laid off from my reliability engineer position in the chemical. I currently have 5 years of reliability experience. I have joined the job market and I will likely be receiving offers for field service engineer positions, the first is servicing a specific piece...
Well this is coming from the point of view of a 27 year old who has moved throughout his career. You seem to not like the area you live in, SO DON'T BUY A HOUSE. Life after college, you soon realize after college, nobody has any clue on life or anything, they just fake it. Most people just...
Thanks everyone, I am already use to wearing steel toes everyday being I work at a plant. Redwings are the only way to go for steel toes I say. What I was looking for was suggestions on jeans and long sleeve cotton polos. Dickies seems to be a favorite here.
I've got a PHD is Broscience
Well Black Friday is coming up and I am thinking and I am thinking it would be the perfect time to buy some sets of work clothes. I am a reliability engineer, so I am looking for some clothes that are both business professional but can also hold up to inspecting equipment. Something in-between...
Sorry I have been traveling, thanks all for the help.
racookepe- I believe they chose those limits from looking at historical data on where the temperature has historically run. Those limits were not engineered, and that is what they are looking for me to do. Thanks for the list of possible...
I have been asked by one of our process engineers to examine the effects of running our compressors with higher outlet temperatures. These are reciprocating compressors flowing propylene at ≈ 270. The outlet temperature is above our traditional limit. Being green at this and not know the...
Thanks everyone for the tips. I try and focus on what my boss gives me, but essentially my customers is the production of the plant, and the safety/environment of the community. Also I will take in account how much I get bugged about the project. If they are bugging me a lot, well I can...
I am a younger engineer who works at a small facility. My job is so varied and I am always pulled in different directions. I am constantly given more work than I can handle, which is probably common so I am not complaining. My question is how do you engineers who have earn their gray hairs...
