To put it shortly. I'm a bachelor in engineering management, but due to my exceptional CV (student exchanges, science and tech park workshops and lectures, good internship) I got a job as an associate engineer at a chemical plant for production of crystalline fertilizers.
I have been here for two months, love the job and have learned the basics, but this industry is way bigger and advanced than I initially thought, and as I want to learn more about this industry full of opportunities I need more resources to learn.
My questions are as follows:
- How to learn more about fertilizer or chemical production and plant design in general?
- What am I lacking as an engineering manager and not a chemical engineer?
- What tools/softwares should I learn If I wish to take part in establishing of new chemical plant?
- Are fertilizers a good niche or should I reorient my early career into another field of chemical production?
There is a good chance that I missed something but as always I will be annoying with even more questions in comments.
Happy to hear your opinions.
