An automation graduate with only one year of work experience working on a chemical engineering project
Thread Content
Hello everyone, I’m a newcomer; I’m also new to the work I’m going to do. I graduated in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in automation. I joined a foreign company in the adhesive industry. It took half a year to transfer from the equipment department to the project engineering department, and then I worked on one or two small projects for a year. The company plans to build a new factory in East China. I am fortunate to be able to participate in the project. This project has an EPCM company providing support, and my role is to assist my manager in dealing with the client. It was originally a good opportunity. But not long ago, my manager changed jobs, leaving me with a project that was just in its initial stages. That’s my situation. Now here’s my question: I’m not very familiar with chemical processing, machinery, construction, equipment procurement, approval procedures, and even how to deal with **staff. The only thing I can claim is some knowledge of PLCs; I don’t know anything about high-voltage electricity. How can I do this project well? At least until the new manager arrives. Could anyone recommend some books on adhesive production? What are the ways to quickly acquire this knowledge? ? I’m really confused right now. . .
First, you ask the administrator to add 100 wealth to you, and then you rush to download materials from the forum. Then you can learn on your own. As for dealing with people, it depends on you.
Success will come naturally when enough effort is put in. There are really many things that need to be learned*. I don’t have any experience in this area. The only advice I can give is that you’ll regret not having enough knowledge when the time comes to use it; please work hard to learn, trying to make progress every day at least.
Ask your boss to give you a raise, and also contribute to the forum to help fund it; grant you the authority to access relevant information. Spend more time in bookstores, and it would be best if the company could find you an assistant who is knowledgeable in this area!

It’s a great opportunity to learn*, so the original poster should make the most of it:handshake
If you don’t understand, ask; no one will laugh at you； There are many resources available in Shanghai; you can ask questions if you have any, or download materials to study*
Bro, you were given an important task right after graduating – are you envious? Come to Dorai Kaisen – there are many materials uploaded by enthusiastic people here, including many that you couldn’t buy even if you spent money at bookstores.
An opportunity! Dude. Before the company assigns a new project manager, it’s your chance to show what you can do. At work, when others expect you to make quick decisions, you need to learn to delay them! Thud! Thud! Then I quickly searched for information online on the subject to make a decision that took both aspects into account.
Be more expressive and learn more things.
Based on your work experience and your specialty. . You can’t afford to take on this project. . For now, you need to first consult relevant materials and understand the process flow, focusing especially on the knowledge related to your own field of expertise in this project. Design work can only begin once the new project manager and the heads of various departments arrive. It would be great if you can **meet the electrical requirements set by the process supervisor in the future. .
Suggestions: 1. Clearly tell your boss what areas you lack in and what tasks you are capable of handling, so as to prevent them from forming misconceptions that might lead to well-intentioned but counterproductive actions, ultimately affecting your career prospects. 2. Take this opportunity to gain in-depth exposure to and carefully read the preliminary documents related to the project, including the preliminary design, safety assessment, and environmental impact assessment reports. 3. Master the process flow and be familiar with P&IDs, while also gaining a thorough understanding of the key technical requirements related to automatic control in the process, thereby laying a foundation for subsequent work. 4. Learn more about the specifications, standards, and other guidelines related to the design, construction, installation, and safety aspects of electrical and instrumentation engineering. 5. When encountering problems or difficulties, seek help on forums; participating actively in discussions will definitely yield benefits. For your reference!
Who hasn’t gone from having no experience to gaining experience? Perhaps next year you will ask someone who has only 2 years of work experience, a recent graduate, to work on chemical engineering projects. Many people miss out on such opportunities; yet many still succeed – it depends on oneself. Maybe one day you will become a big boss... Please look forward to tomorrow and strive hard~
I think you should first figure out the process of project operation management. You don’t need to be an expert in technology, but you must understand what needs to be done at what time
Hey, you need to hurry up a bit.
First, you need to gain a comprehensive understanding of the project you are working on – at least you should know what needs to be done, what procedures are involved, and what the goals are. Then, make haste to acquire the necessary knowledge by reading relevant books; learn as much as you can, so that you have at least a general idea of things. As for the rest, there’s nothing but waiting. Your company certainly won’t ask you to handle complex tasks right away – that’s not realistic. Your main task is still to learn and provide references
It’s a good opportunity – make the most of it. Dealing with other people isn’t difficult; it just requires more communication and interaction. In terms of professionalism, it’s not enough to rely solely on books; practical experience is important, so one should seek advice from those with experience. Combining theory with practice is key. It might be helpful to visit similar companies as well. Keep it up!
Be confident; use a definite tone when speaking, and avoid using a questioning tone. Also, speaking less can help you hide your lack of skill
You can ask your manager about the job transfer and ask him to help you; maybe you can do the job better than him. It’s the simplest way: lol
There’s a lot to learn*. Download more materials on related topics from the Internet, read more, and catch up on what you need to know
