This is a good example of a crap job description:<\/p>\n

Is this the role of a Project Engineer? \u00a0Is it fuck. \u00a0The first is the responsibility of the Project Manager in the context of all project activities, and the Operations Manager (or whoever) in the context of all other activities. \u00a0The implementation is overseen by HSE people employed either by the project or the operating organisation. \u00a0What’s happened here is the job description has been forwarded to somebody who wants to show of his alleged commitment to HSE and thinks that putting meaningless and inaccurate guff at the top of a job description will serve the purpose. \u00a0However you dress up your organisation, it is not a project engineer’s job to ensure company HSE goals are achieved and to provide a safe working environment for employees. \u00a0The industry is full of this box-ticking bullshit, and the sooner it ends the better.<\/p>\n
Secondly, all they’ve done is taken a generic project engineer job description and left out any details as to what the job is all about. \u00a0It tells you nothing about the scope or size of the project, whether it’s brownfield or greenfield, what phase the project is in, whether the position is within an operator or service provider. \u00a0For all the information given in this advert, the job could involve designing and installing a brand new platform or repainting the lines in the company car park. \u00a0If these guys recruited for the catering trade, their advert would run something like this:<\/p>\n
Cook Wanted!<\/strong><\/p>\n
