1 Assess your current skills

The first step is to assess your current skills and identify the gaps you need to fill to become a plant engineering leader. You can use a skills matrix or a self-assessment tool to evaluate your proficiency in various areas, such as engineering design, plant operations, maintenance management, safety and environmental compliance, quality control, budgeting, and team management. You can also compare your skills with the requirements of the plant engineering leadership roles you are interested in and see where you need to improve.

2 Pursue relevant training and certification

The next step is to pursue relevant training and certification that can enhance your knowledge and credibility in plant engineering. Depending on your educational background and experience, you might need to complete a degree or diploma in engineering, or a certificate in plant engineering or plant management. You can also look for courses or workshops that cover specific topics, such as plant optimization, reliability engineering, energy efficiency, or lean manufacturing. Additionally, you can seek certification from professional associations, such as the Society of Plant Engineers (SPE) or the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).

3 Gain practical experience

The third step is to gain practical experience in plant engineering by taking on projects, tasks, or roles that expose you to different aspects of the field. You can volunteer to lead or participate in plant improvement initiatives, such as implementing new technologies, processes, or systems, or conducting audits, inspections, or assessments. You can also seek opportunities to work with other plant engineers, managers, or consultants, and learn from their insights and best practices. Furthermore, you can showcase your risk management skills by identifying and mitigating potential hazards, failures, or losses in plant operations.

Try not to build yourself up to much unless you’re confident you got it. you never want to get in over your head making promises and not be able to deliver.

4 Build your network and reputation

The fourth step is to build your network and reputation in the plant engineering community by connecting with peers, mentors, experts, and employers. You can join online or offline groups, forums, or events that focus on plant engineering topics, trends, or challenges, and share your ideas, opinions, or experiences. You can also create or update your online profile, portfolio, or resume, and highlight your risk management and plant engineering skills, achievements, or projects. Additionally, you can ask for feedback, recommendations, or referrals from your current or former colleagues, managers, or clients.

You might think what is he talking about. My reputation proceeds me. How ever in your new role you will be starting over in a sense. Proving yourself should give you back that drive you had back in the day. If you have the right mindset.

5 Apply for plant engineering leadership roles

The final step is to apply for plant engineering leadership roles that match your skills, interests, and goals. You can use various sources, such as job boards, websites, newsletters, or contacts, to find suitable opportunities in different industries, sectors, or locations. You can also tailor your application materials, such as your cover letter, resume, or portfolio, to demonstrate how your risk management and plant engineering skills can add value to the organization and the position. Moreover, you can prepare for the interview process by researching the company, the role, and the plant engineering challenges or scenarios you might face.

One thing to keep in mind is so many engineers take on several tasks but try and remember you as a good leader or engineer have to know when to say when. Don’t get so bogged down that you can’t see what is going on around you. That’s where the risk assessment comes in. Sometimes less is more. Then again you need to be productive to stay relevant. It’s a fine line that so many try to achieve but few can make it look easy.
