Great job Harry!

I’ve been working in a paper mill for the past 17 years and counting and am a shift engineer. Depending on what type of mill it is will affect the answers. Kraft mills and pulp mills tend to be larger and have more of a smell. If you’re in the steam plant for a mill then it will depend on what you’re burning (natural gas, bunker c, waste oil, etc ) as far as smell is concerned. We’re in charge of the effluent system here and the smell from that process isn’t great, but you get used to it. As @Jolan Dreyer has stated the pay is good, but oil and gas is better. Hope this helps.

@Omer Osman sorry it didn’t work out for you, always keep trying, always keep looking. I didn’t get into the Power Engineering field until I was almost 40, 17 years later and I’m still trying to better myself to achieve greater stability and job satisfaction. Good luck in all of your endeavours.

Congrats Chris. Hope it is a rewarding and fulfilling career ahead for you.

The importance of your role within the organization. When the equipment is running it is taken for granted/ignored for the most part; but when equipment is down and production comes to a standstill then all eyes are on you.

Great work Mike!
