Guidance Number 1

Less knowledge is workable for a maintenance engineer as He can be trained with time, But little bit of carelessness and casual attitude is never acceptable to any engineer.

You should undergo a period of training under a well experienced and qualified engineer.Learning only by own experience will create trouble in the workplace and will take a lot of time to gain proper knowledge.

Speaking from my own experience, A simple response is Testing and commissioning. You will learn more and be able to further your career.

However, If you truly want to become an expert in your field, experience in both sectors is a must.

When you have experience in both sectors, you will have a better understanding of the complete system. You will be able to locate the source of problems quicker.

As a trouble shooter, knowing how and why a machine in installed a particular way is often helpful.

As an installer, knowing what needs to happen for a good clean start up makes you more proficient and valuable to your company.

In the end you have to decide which area you wish to pursue. Knowing what is required in each area may help you decide.

Good Luck!

For testing and commissioning one should work with either a Consultant or a Utility.

I myself was a miantenance engineer once. Its good for kick start your career, but end up its too tiring as well as the arguments with other departments when trouble occurs. We are ,most of the time, at the losing side.

So, quick jump start to a career, a hands on maintenance engineer. Then, understanding all the machines, and switch to Testing & Comm. Owh, btw, im doing that now.

Just sharing fromm my own experience, a bumpy one, but a nice ride in all.
