Moving from design work to operations
Moving from design work to operations
(OP)
Hi Guys
I am an undergrad Chemical Engineer about to put my first rung on the career ladder with a top oil and gas engineering design firm, however I am not sure I would like to do this for the entirety of my career.
I would like to experience a bit more operational site based work during my time (I have had a bit as an intern) so I am wondering if there are any engineers out there with experience moving between design work and site based roles and if you could share your experiences? How difficult is it typically... if at all possible?
Cheers
Dean

RE: Moving from design work to operations
It's interesting your point but I guess the process is more related to production than design. Process and production are both related to manufacturing operations. Design is very different, it depends of what are you designing. Of course, the process and every operation step in a manufacturing company was designed in the beginning of the company and must change with every updated in the company.
