Operations tech need to know a great deal about plant processes, various plant equipment, line setting, permit issuing, hazards identification etc.. responsibility is great and have to do shift work.

Equipment tech are specialist in various plant equipments, which they need to do repair and overhaul.

Personally I think that operations tech experience is more valuable and not forgetting that the attractive shift allowance. However one must be able to adapt to shift life.

Thanks for the info bro.

Ya the shift allowance is very attractive, is abt 1k i believe.

The thing that worries me, will the equipment tech seen as part of the company or just someone who supports the operation.

In manufacturing the machine operators are seen as the 'customers' while the
equipment tech needs to 'serve' the manufacturing.

More info appreciated from all the bro's

Sorry to interrupt..

As what i knew is that process/operation tech is the one who will be operating all the units or machine.
And for maintenance/equipment tech will do all the repairing/trubleshoot work once the process/operation tech calls for help..

I will start working with exxon on 1st july..hope to see any of u there.
