[QUOTE="Speed, post: 522613, member: 33225"] I read it he wanting to go S/E as maintenance electrician. However, many places I know, now expect the shift electricians to work with minimal supervision. If he working shifts, the more highly skilled and knowledgeable electrical engineer will be working days. So as a shift electrician he will be expected to know the basics and be able to work unaided. At lease enough to know when to stop and ask for help, before buggers something up. I knew one supposed electrician that caused thousands of pounds damage to a large motor/gearbox, because he didn't ask. Needed a complete rebuild, and that not including the cost of downtime and lost production.. He tried to fix the symptoms, instead of finding the cause. Idiot bypassed the alarm fault circuit that stopping machine, instead of investigating why it alarming. Too many so-call maintenance sparks think their job is to keep plant running. When it really about is finding and fixing electrical problems before they become catastrophic. Not pressing resets or bypassing circuits, just to keep plant running. [/QUOTE]
