Start over

I can teach you civil engineering knowledge and techniques

Thank you, but in the end I still have to return to the manufacturing process

It depends on how much valuable experience you accumulate and how many skills you master.

Ordinary things seem to cover it, but they’re not comprehensive.

Here’s a tip for you: when you feel like you know everything, it means your progress is slowing down. I know this from experience; when I feel like I know everything or have a lot of knowledge, it’s during those times that my progress is slowest. When I learn new things and realize there’s still so much I don’t know, I feel that I’ve made great progress. So, making the right choice is crucial, and making progress in learning is also crucial! Good luck!

The original poster seems to be referring to the establishment of a factory; starting with civil engineering is a good idea, but it means having to deal with various aspects. If one is a project manager, it involves equipment bidding and procurement, technical oversight, as well as the ability to understand various drawings and be familiar with different design, manufacturing, construction, and acceptance standards; one must also be able to identify various construction details, not to mention the basic knowledge of the industry. Later, the equipment arrives at the site, where it undergoes inspection, installation, and testing. At the same time, pipeline installation, as well as work related to valves, instruments, electrical systems, safety measures, and environmental protection, are carried out concurrently. It is also necessary to deal with the construction workers, supervisors, installation companies, HSE teams, and the company’s production department; one must be familiar with the overall progress of the construction. Once everything is completed, system hydrostatic testing, water operation tests, purging, and replacement procedures are required. Anti-corrosion and insulation treatment for various pipelines, installation and removal of such treatments, equipment maintenance, technical upgrades, and submission of requests for production spare parts. There are many more things waiting for you. It is recommended to visit the site more often, observe more, ask more questions, think more, and draw more conclusions.

You should be the constructor. Civil work, installation work, commissioning work, and final management work. You will come along step by step in order. Don’t focus only on technology; learning how to manage is also important. In the end, you still have to move on to production. Technology is the foundation, ideas come first; management is your goal.

Some training materials for new employees can be created, such as those on safety, equipment knowledge, and process knowledge. In the future, when new employees arrive, they can use it, and managers will be able to see your capabilities as well. When creating new member profiles, I can also learn some knowledge. Remember, when learning knowledge, one should focus on mastery; having a superficial understanding is the most dangerous thing.
