Who is a technician

Technician used to be called a specialist using various techniques. It can be applied in various sectors of the economy and social sphere. Typically, the technician average technical education . Since July last year, state professional standards with requirements have been in force in the Russian Federation, including for technicians. They indicate the qualifications of the technician, his functions and other parameters.

At the same time, it is important to understand that more than one profession is called a technician. For example, they may be technicians involved in documentation and information support object, dismantling of objects, deciphering the parameters of traffic, servicing heating networks and pipelines, a software engineer, etc. A technician, as a rule, performs his duties under the guidance of a specialist of a higher qualification.

Their list may include:

• Technical calculations and development of simple projects and schemes in accordance with regulatory documents.
• Adjustment, configuration and testing of systems and equipment ensures their proper operation.
• Connection of devices, registration of the necessary parameters, analysis of the results.
• Participation in preparation technical regulations and other documentation, in pilot events.
• Collection and processing of primary materials, statistics, accumulates scientific and technical information in the specialty.

The technician can also description of work performed preparing various reference and information materials and technical documentation. He may be entrusted with substantiating the effectiveness of the use of new developments and technologies. He can deal with the reception, registration and execution of documentation, ensure its safety, control the timing of the execution of documents.

To perform their functions, a technician must have knowledge of:

• The terminology used in the technical literature.
• Normative-legal acts and technical documentation in the direction of activity.
• Standards and specifications for the documentation that is being developed, the rules for its execution.
• Methods for carrying out adjustment and experimental work, equipment for control and measurement.
• Fundamentals of production technology, characteristics and features of equipment, detection of defects in it.
• Modern means of working with information and the rules of its computer processing and much more.

Usually for technicians of the first and second category, work experience as a technician was required at least two years. Technicians are always in demand. Work experience as a process engineer for three years or more was a condition for occupying the position of a process engineer.

What does a technologist do

A technologist is a specialist who organizes, develops any production process. It can be a set of methods and tools to achieve a result. The specialist who does this must have higher technical education. His task is to select the necessary equipment for the implementation of the technological process, the optimal modes of its operation.

He must define quality control methods and maintain documentation related to production technology. All experimental work on the introduction of new processes, organizational and technical measures are carried out with his participation.

Depending on the specifics of the activity, technologists can specialize in various types production. In particular, they can:

1. Develop a project for a specific production and measures to ensure the technological process.
2. Describe assembly technologies, mechanical, thermal and other types of processing of parts and components of products.
3. To develop methods for the manufacture of optical parts, their attachment to optical devices, etc.
4. IN food production control technological regimes, control the quality of products, develop new types of products.
5. Supervise the operation of various plants in the chemical industry.
6. Engage in the development and release of drugs in the pharmaceutical industry.
7. In the textile industry, develop and control methods for the production of threads and fabrics.
8. In the field of nanotechnology, to ensure, for example, the production of the most complex nanoheterostructural integrated circuits, etc.

There are many options for specialization of technologists, their number is not decreasing. In fact, the technologist practically organizes production, develops and implements measures to improve it.

What is the difference

Without both of these specialists, it is difficult to imagine modern life. Despite the similarity of names, they have fundamental differences.

So, the position of a technician assumes the presence of a secondary technical education. He must work under the guidance of an experienced specialist and deal with the technical problems of the equipment entrusted to him or technology issues.

The technologist-engineer must have a higher education. Its task is to organize production, develop and provide technological processes. Process engineers may be subordinate to a process engineer, and not vice versa.
