Quote:Just curious what the typical work day is of an "engineer". 

 

Could you enlighten me, without embellishing - just give us the plain real deal?

 

It's too broad of a field to be able to give you an all-encompassing, generic definition but I can try to lay out what a day around my office is like.

 

My job is to ensure that any modifications planned or performed on the Nuclear Stations that my company operates are within the parameters of both the Original Design and the Federal Regulations that were originally agreed upon. I am also responsible for scripting those changes and recognizing whatever impacts the changes will have on both the existing design and existing operational procedures. Basically, how the station works and how the station is worked on.

 

I spend a lot of time in meetings with Vendors, Craftsmen, Work Planners, Supervisors, Procurement Specialists, my laptop, and a Speaker Phone. Oh, and I do a few coffee runs during the day as well.
