I'm writing a novel involving a fictional medical imaging facility and I wanted to know what process of decomissioning and MRI machine, such as what are the technical circumstances of why one would be decomissioned or removed from the medical facility, the logistical process of it, such as last day of patient usage, how field technicians may be involved. Not sure if this is the right space, but I thought I try, or would the field service engineer be responsible for decommissioning the equipment?

Anyone have experience working as an FSE for MTS?

Starting a FSR at the end of the month and know I will be traveling occasionally outside of my region. I was told during the interview process overnight travel is between 10-15% on average. I am located in Ohio,USA and my overnight travel sounds to be all in the US.

My question for you more experienced people is what airlines and hotels should I be looking at for getting rewards during travel? I know the company pays for it all, but I was told that I can collect the reward points. Also gas stations rewards, is there such a thing even? I will eventually have a company vehicle all expenses paid but imagine I can collect points from gas stations as well. Thanks for your advice and stay safe out there.

Been an HVAC technician/ Controls Service Tech For a couple years now, mostly work with Niagara programming and networking. At a get together recently I met a friend of a friend who was telling me his company is recruiting for a FSE and I should apply. I told him I’m not sure if what I know can transfer into the field, he told me he is always hiring people who have a background in HVAC and knowing controls is a plus. Is my leg being pulled or is their some truth to this.
