OPTIONAL: 1-year post BS or work-study experience in automation and control design. Professional Engineer (PE) registration not required but desirable.

Once a new person is on-boarded in the customer’s organization there is a set of internal, customer specific education that needs to take place upfront and ongoing as follows:

• Engineering standards

• Engineering technology directions

• Engineering reporting practices

• Overall organization structure and roles/responsibilities

• Procurement practices

• Document Management practices

• Safety practices

• Supplier/Vendor practices

NOTE: The customer organization will typically have a “technical school” to which all Maintenance and/or Engineering personnel attend for 1-4 weeks to learn specifics of the customer’s operations and supporting automation and control systems. These types of internal training programs are highly recommended also.
