Instrument engineer working part-time as after-sales technical support in Xinjiang

Thread Content

I am from old Xinjiang; I have been working in the field of instruments – mainly chemical instruments – for nearly 20 years now, and I hold an intermediate professional title. I do have some experience in maintaining field instruments, and my practical skills are decent; I can handle most issues related to ordinary instrument equipment. I worked in the company’s project department for seven or eight years, and I was involved in several large-scale projects – handling everything from the initial planning and design selection and ordering, to the subsequent installation and commissioning. Previously, our design institute did not have a instrumentation specialty; we would draw some of the drawings ourselves and then have them stamped by them, so regular design drawings could still be produced. My English is average; reading professional materials isn’t a problem for me, but my speaking skills are weak. When working on projects, I have to communicate with foreigners by using gestures and drawings, but since we both understand the technology involved, it’s better to communicate directly rather than having an unskilled translator in between. I’ve had some free time lately, and I don’t want to let it go to waste. I’m thinking of taking on a part-time job; it seems appropriate to work as after-sales technical support for instrument manufacturers based in the mainland in Xinjiang. The distance is great, and these manufacturers usually don’t have offices in Xinjiang. Hiring a full-time technician might not be necessary given the limited workload, so a part-time worker like me would be ideal – no high salary required. I can respond promptly to any issues, I’m familiar with the area, and I have a car. I also have basic tools such as multimeters, 475 testers, and signal generators. This way, the manufacturers can save costs while still resolving problems quickly, benefiting both parties. I can also provide technical assistance for bidding purposes to manufacturers who come to Xinjiang to submit bids (many agents lack expertise in instrumentation); I have done this kind of work before as well. Since I am still at work, I don’t have much free time in normal days; I can do drawing and design work during working hours. However, to handle issues on-site, I need to ask for leave. Xinjiang is quite large, and even the shortest distances are hundreds of kilometers, which results in higher costs in terms of time and labor compared to the inland areas.
