Office conditions.
Senior Mechanical Designer:
Pros: Having worked in the Engineering environment for the past 44 years, and it will is observed that I have acquired Engineering skills across the field. I have the ability to take charge and lead both junior and senior persons in any situation and always look forward to a challenge. I believe in a very high standard of quality control and I am prepared to go the extra mile to secure a good reputation for my employer and with this approach I have always enjoyed the respect of my peers.
Cons: Senior Management and Human Resources are not orientated in the engineering environment that I work in and and rely on outside companies who also have no ship design culture to verify your status in the company.

Advice.
Senior Mechanical Designer:
This job is what you make of it. There is no time or room for whiners or lazy people. If you work hard and support the engineers you will be employed for a while if not it will be back to the streets. We have many projects to get done in a short amount of time. IF you need help ask for it.
