Building the Skills Needed of a Good Facilities Engineer

摘要

I have been working over the past few years to build the facilities engineering capabilities in my organization. I have learned that for any of our subsea disciplines, there are three types of skills: critical, supporting, and foundation (Table 1). So, you may ask: What is the point of knowing this? When teams are assembled to develop and deploy new projects or operate and maintain existing assets, a knowledge of the required skills for an effective outcome helps in the staffing and selection of the appropriate engineers. A skills matrix may be used to develop and train individuals to take roles beyond the ones they perform. The matrix becomes a defacto road map for building organizational capability.
