Career/help
Hey everyone, I’m based in Philadelphia and looking to transition into the stationary engineer field. I currently have about 3 years of plant mechanic experience, mainly industrial/mechanical work, troubleshooting, repairs, and working around equipment. I’d still consider myself more mid-level because I honestly haven’t had the opportunity to be properly mentored or fully trained by experienced engineers.
I recently got my Grade A Engineering License and I’m trying to change paths and get into a role where I can continue learning and grow long term in the field. I’m motivated, willing to learn, and not afraid of hard work — I just need the opportunity and guidance to get my foot fully in the door.
If anyone has advice, knows companies hiring in the Philly area, or has recommendations on how to break further into the field, I’d really appreciate it.
