Mechanical engineers Market: good rotating VS good static equipment engineers
Mechanical engineers Market: good rotating VS good static equipment engineers
(OP)
As a mechanical engineer at an EPC company for oil and gas projects in Calgary, Canada, I heard several times from different people(both from EPC and clients) about it is much harder to find a good Rotating equipment engineer in the market.
I don't know if this only happens in my current industry or area OR it is a overall market situation all around.
Do you have the same feeling?
Anyone can explain a little bit more why there are less good rotating equipment guys vs static or market needs.
Thanks~~~

I've met a lot more rotating equipment engineers who work for an OEM than I have the same working for an EPC. For static equipment engineers, it's not quite the opposite but it's much closer to parity between OEM and EPC. That's in my experience anyway.

"Belief" is the acceptance of an hypotheses in the absence of data.
"Prejudice" is having an opinion not supported by the preponderance of the data.
"Knowledge" is only found through the accumulation and analysis of data.
The plural of anecdote is not "data"
