The job description of a power engineer includes some of the most dangerous functions in the world, because professionals in this field are associated every day with the risk of electric shock, possibly with fatal consequences. Specialists of this kind have two levels of qualification: this is a standard specialist or an energy engineer, while it is worth noting the fact that these areas have fairly similar responsibilities, but there are also a lot of differences.

Who is this?

A power engineer is a specialist who has a secondary technical education and has been working in his position for no more than five years, and therefore has not yet completed advanced training. The job description for a power engineer includes the following:

  • design of electrical networks;
  • installation of electrical networks;
  • ensuring control over the operation of equipment, as well as its safety during operation;
  • carrying out repairs in the event that any malfunctions or interruptions occur.

Energy engineer: higher salary - more responsibilities

The power engineer has several more functions. In particular, it is worth noting that the job description of a power engineer of this rank includes not only design, but also drawing up drawings, and this specialist also develops norms for energy consumption. It is this person who ultimately decides whether there is a need for modernization and the subsequent introduction of some more modern technologies in production.

Who to study?

In order for you to be able to take on the job duties of a power engineer, you must study for one of the following specialties:

  • Heat engineering and heat power engineering.
  • Construction.
  • Nuclear physics and technology.
  • Power supply.
  • Electrical engineering and power industry.
  • Construction of unique buildings and structures.

By studying for one of these specializations, you will get the opportunity to work in the field of energy.

What should be done?

The job description for the chief power engineer transfers the following responsibilities:

  • Design of electronic networks. This is required in order to ensure the proper distribution of electrical flows in order to exclude any serious voltage drops or overloads at individual nodes, since these phenomena can eventually provoke fires.
  • Design of heating networks inside various premises. The job description also transfers to the chief power engineer the task of distributing heat in such a way that, while maintaining sufficiently high efficiency, minimizing energy consumption.
  • Formation of schemes. Based on the calculations and studies carried out, a specialist in this profile should draw up a schematic layout of networks, as well as thermal analogues.
  • Drawing up a budget. The power engineer completely independently selects the most optimal options for equipment that will be used in the work of the company. It is based on the ideal balance of quality, reliability and price, or, if the organization's finances allow, it can neglect the price in favor of the first two points.
  • Acquisition of equipment necessary for laying energy networks.
  • Providing control over the installation of all necessary equipment, as well as direct participation in any installation operations. This is done in order to exclude the possibility of operating defective equipment due to the influence of the human factor on the part of less qualified employees.
  • Commissioning of electronic networks, as well as specialized thermal equipment. The job description for a power engineer also provides for a thorough testing of devices when they are first turned on under maximum load conditions. Only after all the devices are in good working order, it will be possible to say that the object was handed over successfully.
  • Carrying out various repairs with a variety of levels of complexity. In the event that malfunctions, blackouts, serious voltage drops or any other problems appear in the operation of the equipment, a specialist in this profile will have to find the problem area, as well as deal with the elimination of the breakdown.
  • Modernization planning. The power engineer is engaged in miscalculations of energy consumption, and also considers all possible ways to reduce this indicator due to more advanced technical equipment. After registration, all calculations are submitted to the authorities, who will then make the final decision.
  • Carrying out work, the main purpose of which is to improve the performance of the equipment used. The higher this indicator is, the less the company will be able to pay for the resources it consumes. It is for this reason that the job description for an energy engineer provides for the adoption of various measures aimed at improving the company's economy.

This is far from a complete range of responsibilities, because quite often there are various emergency situations that provide for instant decision making. Among other things, the scope of duties may increase due to the specifics of the company in which this specialist works.

How to understand that you are a potential power engineer?

The job description of the power engineer of an enterprise includes a huge number of various items and complex nuances, so it can hardly be said that this profession is the ultimate dream for someone. However, in fact, this profession is ideal for people who have a technical mindset, and are also able to conduct fairly complex mathematical calculations, because in this profession even minor mistakes can ultimately lead to disasters.

Excellent attention, as well as the ability to concentrate solely on the process that the specialist is currently performing, are extremely important, because the work of a power engineer involves a painstaking approach. Few are fully aware that electricity, as well as nuclear energy, is one of the most dangerous areas, and even minor inaccuracies can ultimately lead to extremely serious consequences on a huge scale.

It is for this reason that such specialists have an extremely high level of responsibility, and only a person who is able to make difficult decisions and at the same time be aware of their consequences, taking full responsibility, can take on job descriptions in the energy sector. In addition, this profession also needs to show an innovative approach, because power engineers often develop various technologies aimed at modernizing the equipment used.

How in demand is the profession?

The job description of the chief power engineer of the enterprise includes a huge number of items that can only be performed by a highly qualified specialist who is a professional in his field. It is for this reason that this specialization is extremely in demand these days, because humanity will always use one form or another of energy, and in order to ensure the correct exploitation of resources, the presence of a qualified professional is required in the office. This is quite important not only from the point of view of labor efficiency or comfort, but also for ensuring safety.

Is it easy to get hired?

To get a position as an energy engineer, in most cases it is enough to have a diploma stating that you have an education in this field. It often happens that specialists initially take on the job description of a deputy power engineer, and only then they are appointed to a higher position. Experience in this case plays an important role, and in large companies preference is most often given to experienced specialists, and not to those who have just graduated from their studies. But in fact, finding a job in your specialty is not difficult, since you can temporarily get a job in any related position.

How is a career built?

As mentioned above, specialists in this field have quite great prospects, and if at first you were given the position of deputy power engineer, then in the future you may already be fulfilling the job description of the deputy chief power engineer, and subsequently offered a full-fledged specialist position. It is worth noting that a simple specialist can become an engineer even if he does not have a higher education diploma, since five years of successful practice is enough for this.

What can an engineer do?

The engineer already has many more opportunities, as a result of which he can easily grow up to a senior specialist in a project or workshop. Many, with a diligent approach, end up with the position of chief in the field of energy.

The most prestigious growth concerns specialists who are employed in specialized energy enterprises, since during your work in your specialty, you can eventually rise to the position of the head of the organization.

What are the prospects?

In principle, the profession itself is already prestigious, and even the current level of wages testifies to this. Such specialists are distinguished by a fairly high income, while the salary may increase as their qualifications improve. Career opportunities are also promising, because in this area even an ordinary graduate of a small technical school can eventually become a full-fledged head of an enterprise if he proves his own skills through hard work, as well as the introduction of innovative technologies.

It is worth noting the fact that specialists of this profile are in demand abroad. Quite often, professional power engineers receive a work visa and start their careers in more developed countries.
