I would like to ask fellow sailors: how is the professional title of an engineer in a chemical plant determined?

If the organization has the authority to conduct professional title evaluations, then the evaluation should be carried out there; if not, one must go to the local personnel department to proceed with the evaluation. 1. With an associate degree: After completing * years of service, and having worked in a professional field related to this degree for at least 4 years, one can apply for evaluation for the position of assistant-level professional technician ； Those who have been engaged in professional and technical work for more than 20 years, of which at least 5 years have been spent in an assistant-level professional and technical position, are eligible to apply for evaluation for intermediate professional and technical positions. 2. Associate degree: Those who are engaged in professional technical work in this field and have held an assistant-level professional technical position for at least 4 years may apply for evaluation for an intermediate-level professional technical position ； Those who have been engaged in professional technical work related to their field of study for more than 20 years immediately after graduating from a junior college (or more than 25 years after obtaining such a degree), and who have held an intermediate professional technical position for at least 5 years, are eligible to apply for evaluation for a senior professional technical position. 3. Bachelor’s degree: Those who are engaged in professional technical work in this field and have held an assistant-level professional technical position for more than 4 years may apply for evaluation for the qualification of an intermediate-level professional technical position ； Those who are engaged in professional and technical work in this field and have held an intermediate professional and technical position for more than 5 years (or, if they have obtained a bachelor’s degree later, must have been engaged in such professional and technical work continuously for 15 years) may apply for evaluation for a senior professional and technical position. 4. Master’s degree or dual degree: Those who are engaged in professional work in this field and hold an assistant-level professional position for at least 2 years may apply for evaluation for an intermediate professional position; those who are engaged in such professional work and hold an intermediate professional position for at least 5 years may apply for evaluation for a senior professional position. 5. Doctor: Those who are engaged in professional and technical work in this field and have held an intermediate professional and technical position for more than 2 years may apply for evaluation for a senior professional and technical position.

Here, I will wait for instructions from the Human Resources department at that time regarding taking English tests, preparing papers, and so on. But being rated as an engineer doesn’t bring any real benefits; it’s not as good as having a technician’s allowance. Undergraduates become assistant engineers after one year, and can be promoted to engineers after four years.
