Between a workshop technician and a workshop supervisor, which would you choose? What are their respective prospects? Do workshop technicians belong to the technical department or the production department? Who should obey whom when dealing with problems? This post was last edited by qiuqiuwenzi on 2009-2-15 15:39.]
Technicians have a promising future; the next step is to become deputy director.
Hello, technician – to lay a foundation for the future.
They should be positioned side by side, both falling under the supervision of the workshop supervisor – there is no hierarchy between them. Each has their own responsibilities regarding job tasks. The workshop technician is responsible for production techniques and equipment-related issues, and needs to possess certain technical knowledge; the workshop supervisor, on the other hand, is in charge of production management and overseeing the workers’ operations, and must have managerial skills. Of course, these roles can overlap, with one person handling both duties – a technician can also serve as a supervisor, and vice versa.
No need to worry, technician – with skills as a foundation, there will be many opportunities in the future! Look further ahead and build up your knowledge!
Being the team leader is better; after all, they are managers, while technicians have limited prospects for the future.:)
Surely, being a technician has a promising future – one comes into contact with more people and gains more knowledge than a team leader. I’ve experienced this firsthand: technicians receive orders directly from the top management and can guide team leaders in their work (once they reach a certain level of experience). When I was a technician, I was directly responsible for assigning tasks to deputy directors (it’s true!). Everyone in our company knows that process technology is the ultimate authority in chemical plants – of course, only if you have the necessary skills. The year-end bonus is also higher than that of the deputy director—as there are projects to work on every year.
