Engineer job is considered as one of most responsible jobs ever. Engineer doesnt have a working time, means an engr should expect anything anytime.

Even an engineer is in a big post he will have contact from lower to higher levels. He doesnt usually wear a suit and sit in a leather seat. Engineer will do and involved in everything from A to Z of one or more projects. Expecting more opinions apart from a question ! Thank you

Every Project is different with different requirements. Every Engineer is completely responsible for completing his assigned task as per the requirements of the project. He has to complete his activities as per the milestones of the project. The different requirements of the projects means expecting anything any time.

Being an engineer is an important job.  You are practically the brains of the project; hence, you are involved and rightly so in all decision making and changes to your project - it's feasibility and implications.  It is part and parcel of your job.  Having said that, there are also a number of other positions that are equally engaging.  For example, a program manager - responsible for the entire program, HR manager - responsible for all the employees; a doctor responsible for all his patients and the list goes on.  Thrive on the sense of accomplishment ....

As an Engineer, you must be always active, need to work hard with all your team, prepared and ready for any unforeseen site problems that may appear.

you need to be always ready to sacrifice with your time and many of your social obligations in case of any emergency, and to do it without complains

The company makes a living on basis of services given to the clients, for that the sales, the engineers and technicians are always on tows. This has to be expected and in this world of competition it is only way to go.

An Engineer is the core part of any industry. Engineer must be active at anytime becoz problems dont knock your door and come in.. They appear instantaneously and en engineer should be very instantly reporting to these problems..

Engineers are like doctors to machines. If a doctor doesnt show up for emergencies the bad situations may turn worse and same goes to engineers..

We shoul feel proud to be engineers and should do what we shoud do.... ur hardwork will surely pay you off.

My experience is that you have to solve all the problems, thats your job, People need to trust you to solve there problems, and mostly these problems start in the minds of responsible people, so they need backup from the engineer asap.

But that gives you the greatest and best experience. But solve it together with the people that have the questions. Give them they idea and tools to solve it.
