Importance of Site Experience

Importance of Site Experience

(OP)
Hey guys

How important is site experience and what does it really mean? i.e. what type of key responsibilities are they referring to?

RE: Importance of Site Experience

You need to be more specific with your question - welding engineer, corrosion engineer, janitor, secretary, plumber?
 

RE: Importance of Site Experience

I was referring to materials and corrosion engineers.

Does site experience means plannning, overhaul etxc etc

RE: Importance of Site Experience

Are you applying for a job?
I'm assuming site experience means any experience that has to do with your function in that job.

Spot on Walterke...I am indeed looking for a job.

Someone asked me once 'Do you have any site experience?'.

It is a too general question (bias I think). So I was wondering how would he or she answer this particular question.

 

RE: Importance of Site Experience

Site experience means you were employed as an Engineer (corrosion or materials or other) at a site where you participated in either management of day to day operation/maintenance activities or you were a process engineering specialist. This means actively involved with handling or coordinating day to day engineering processes and dealing with corrosion or material issues.

RE: Importance of Site Experience

What about for consultants (which there are quite a lot corrosion/materials consulants)?

Thanks for your input.

I think it is the same for consultants but at higher level.  

RE: Importance of Site Experience

Site experience can mean a variety of things.  

"Site" as opposed to office or lab.  

"Site" as in term assignment during construction/startup/shutdown, etc.

"Site" being anything remote to a permanent assignment.

"Site" meaning field evaluation and troubleshooting experience.

RE: Importance of Site Experience

My two cents,
Site experience refers to direct contact with actual engineering events related to your job, as mentioned above 'field evaluation and troubleshooting experience'. This includes direct exposure to event analysis under senior supervision and involvement in solvind various events over a longer period of time (as opposed to one or few isolated events).
