I graduated almost two years ago; during the campus recruitment process, I went to a chemical plant, as I majored in numerical control. At that time, in the chemical plant I worked under an experienced technician to learn about the equipment there, but my work mainly involved handling documents; I went to the production workshops relatively seldom. Because the equipment in that workshop is broken, it’s their maintenance team that fixes it; we are mainly responsible for installing equipment at the factory. So I don’t really understand equipment maintenance, nor do I know the principles behind it. I had just graduated at that time and basically spent my days idling around. We’ve switched to a new chemical plant now; it’s our maintenance team that is responsible for repairing the equipment in the workshops here. It’s still in the trial phase; there’s a mentor who is guiding me, but there’s still a lot I don’t understand. It feels awkward to ask him even about simple questions. I was wondering if there are any materials available for chemical plant equipment managers who want to learn more; where should such managers start? It seems there’s way too much to learn*. It feels like I need to understand everything, which is overwhelming. I hope the experienced professionals here can share some learning materials suitable for equipment managers. Thank you.
Theoretical knowledge is one thing; go to the site more often and seek advice from those with more experience!
Working with team leaders to tighten screws – once you get familiar with the equipment in the factory, you’ll understand that for maintaining chemical plant equipment, hands-on experience is crucial; it’s possible to start working in this field just 2 years after graduating from university.
Be sweet-talking, diligent, and think critically. Be more emotionally intelligent. There are so many people in the factory; by learning a little from each of them, you’ll become an expert. You’ve just graduated for two years; no one will think you don’t understand things. If one keeps going like this, they’ll basically be ruined. Knowing only equipment repair, one can at most become a senior technician. In this society, those who use their brains always earn more than those who use their hands! If you want to develop, it’s better to learn the craftsmanship and gain a deeper understanding of the equipment.
