Engineers are workers who deal with various technical devices. The basis of their activities is focused on modernizing or optimizing the solutions that currently exist. Beginners in this business are engaged only in direct observation or adjustment of technical devices.

Depending on the category of engineers, workers have different access to technologies, units or equipment. They also have different rights and responsibilities. Accordingly, as the category grows, the range of work performed will increase, as well as

Superficial division of engineers into categories

In domestic practice, there are the following categories of engineers:

1. Lack of category. Workers with this specialization will be able to perform only the simplest actions. Moreover, they cannot make any decisions unless they are supervised by more qualified professionals.
2. Category 3. Such workers can perform the responsibilities of engineers described above. In addition, they can develop simple drawings. Naturally, they will perform all work only under the strict supervision of specialists of higher categories.
3. 2nd category. Workers cope with the responsibilities listed above, without the supervision of professionals. In addition, they have access to the development of drawings for individual parts or small simple assemblies. In some cases, designers independently assemble such parts according to the created drawings.
4. 1st category. The employee performs all of the above actions. In addition, if the manager gives certain instructions for the creation of new units, then the engineers can and are obliged to carry them out.

The leading engineer can also be noted. He is involved in the development of all major structures that are used at the enterprise. Plus, they can optimize existing systems and units and develop equipment that will become more competitive.

Engineers category 3

A category 3 engineer is a performer who carries out orders and instructions from senior management. Usually the role of the latter is played by more qualified specialists. that the engineer performs the bulk of his work under close supervision, he can do some actions independently:

• Choose auxiliary materials that will be more convenient for him to use.
• Independently improves his skills and studies the necessary materials.
• Develops documentation and signs it before handing it over to the manager.

Thus, despite limited obligations, all category 3 engineers represent an independent working unit that needs to coordinate its actions with specialists.

Engineers 2nd category

An engineer of category 2, when performing his activities, must be guided by the regulatory documents of the organization in which he works. He is also responsible for other documentation.

As a rule, the main job of category 2 engineers is to receive tasks from higher management, then divide them among subordinates. But in addition to this, he needs to coordinate documentation and activities with other departments. Naturally, an engineer cannot deviate from instructions given by more qualified specialists.

Engineers 1st category

A category 1 engineer has many more rights and responsibilities. As his responsibility increases, so does his salary. He may have appropriate employees subordinate to him, the specific specialization of which will be determined by the direction of activity of the engineer and the enterprise.

• Failure to fulfill or improper performance of one’s official obligations. In addition, if the engineer’s subordinates do not fulfill their obligations, the manager will be held responsible.
• Offenses committed during work activities. For example, if safety precautions were not followed during work, the engineer will be held liable. This applies even to those cases where no one was harmed during a TB violation.
• Causing material damage to the enterprise.

Naturally, such a number of obligations is paid off by a high salary, because otherwise no one will want to take on such responsibility.

Assigning categories

The assignment of a category to an engineer is carried out based on the results of certification. Typically, the timing will be set by government agencies, but sometimes large companies or businesses will hire independent panels when they believe one or more workers could improve their skills. Otherwise, the following engineers can count on increased professionalism:

• Category 3 is applied for by a specialist with a higher education and at least 3 years of experience.
• Category 2 is applied for by a specialist who has a higher education and has at least 3 years of experience as a category 3 employee.
• Category 1 is applied for by a specialist who has a higher education and has at least 3 years of experience as a category 2 employee.

Thus, the assignment of a category to an engineer is carried out every three years. Sometimes this time is reduced to 2 years if the specialist worked in difficult conditions or temporarily performed the duties of an employee with higher qualifications. Of course, provided that he coped with his activities perfectly.

Job responsibilities of process engineers

Any process engineer (categories and work experience do not matter) is engaged in introducing new technologies into the standard, well-established production process at the enterprise. All his actions will be focused on two basic rules:

1. Reducing the cost of production.
2. Increasing productivity in a competitive environment.

Since the work of a technologist is directly related to the company’s activities, management must constantly keep him informed of any changes, especially those related to his field.

Each process engineer of categories 1, 2, 3 and without must have certain knowledge. They include legislative acts, GOST standards for equipment and products, information software, enterprise computer equipment, and so on.

Job responsibilities of design engineers

Designers work with equipment, drawings and tools. Such an engineer must have an excellent understanding of circuits and devices. If necessary, he will have to adjust them, modernize them, or draw up such drawings that will allow other workers to assemble a more modern and technologically advanced device. It is impossible to specifically identify the responsibilities of designers, since they will depend on the specifics of the enterprise, as well as on the narrow profile of its specialization.

There are 3 categories of design engineers. Each of them, accordingly, allows you to work at different levels. During the implementation of its activities, the designer uses the following:

• Drawing tools.
• Specially created or developed software.
• Directly personal computers.
• Automation tools.

Sometimes such engineers are allowed to use other tools. But the main weapon of an employee is his experience and professionalism.

Job responsibilities of design engineers

All categories of design engineers are involved in the development of entire projects or individual parts, it all depends on qualifications. The following elements can be used during operation:

• Technologies.
• Personal experience.
• Automation tools.
• Various domestic or foreign modern devices.

Regardless of the category of design engineers, the relevant employees must have a large amount of knowledge. They include any design technologies, as well as technical calculations and methods for carrying them out. It is impossible not to note the standards and GOSTs, which are on a par with safety. Any outside knowledge is welcome, but will not necessarily be paid for by management.

Engineers' rights

• Offer management various ways to help improve working conditions and make them more organized.
• Use scientific literature and materials that will help you cope with your responsibilities. That is, any engineer does not have to memorize all the information; from time to time he can use books or magazines.
• Pass certification in accordance with the procedure established by the enterprise or state. In the process, they can receive a new category, as well as remain at the same level of qualification.
• Improve your qualifications with all the ensuing consequences. That is, after receiving a new category, the employee has the right to a higher salary, better working conditions, new entries in work books, and so on.

In addition to those listed above, engineers have the opportunity to enjoy all the rights that are specified in the Labor Code of the country where their work activities are carried out.

Engineers' responsibilities

1. Timely completion of duties.
2. Organization of personal work activities, execution of orders and assignments at the appointed time.
3. Compliance with fire safety rules, as well as the regulations established at the enterprise.
4. Maintaining documentation detailing the engineer’s activities.
5. If there are employees subordinate to them, then the manager will be directly responsible for their failure to fulfill their duties.
6. If safety precautions were violated during work, the engineer is obliged to take action and also inform management in a timely manner.

If it is violated, the engineer will bear the responsibility established by law. It will depend on the severity of the offense. For example, an employee may be forced to pay a fine, work, arrest or deprivation of property.

Conclusion

It is known what categories of engineers exist today. However, in order to truly be in good standing with your superiors, as well as earn large sums of money, you need to work and study a lot. Otherwise, neither experience nor attempts to obtain a new category will help improve your specialization. In addition, it is recommended to monitor the release of new regulations, technologies and scientific literature. Engineers are one of the few workers who are required to keep up with modern discoveries, otherwise they will lose their competitiveness.
