Vital Roles of a Plant Engineer
Plant engineers oversee a manufacturing plant's electrical and mechanical systems, from installation to troubleshooting. Plant engineers are responsible for improving efficiency, upgrading to new technologies, repairing equipment, increasing production, and reducing manufacturing issues, including bottlenecks. They conduct routine tests, evaluate machinery and fix problems promptly. They review operational plans to ensure machinery and processes meet compliance regulations.
