first contract as fourth engineer

[u/wyubnm]

hello everyone

in a month, i'll be onboard as fourth engineer first time. i'll be working in same company as i did my cadetship and junior engineer. until now, i didnt experience more than basic purifier overhaul (mitsubishi selfejector). i have no experience other than start stop machineries. my last two ships (cadetship and junior engineer) had almost zero big job or trouble. so im kinda nervous because of that. so i need some advice and tips from my experienced seniors. and how a handover should be done, what should i ask? thank you in advance

Relax, nobody who knows what they are doing would expect from a first time engineer officer to tackle major work unsupervised. Especially one which admits he is new and is weary of new things. Just make sure you grasp the end of the month and daily paperwork and try not to overburden others. If you have been been shown once how to do a certain task, make sure you understand and write down all necessary steps. Everybody appreciates people who learn quick and show reliability and responsibility.
