Importance of the items are presented in sequence:<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1.0 POCKET SIZE NOTEBOOK<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The most important thing to have with you all the time during on shift. It is the bible for you to succeed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reason \u2013 Record the activities happening during your shift because when you are on shifts as Field Engineer you are responsible person to report everything to the barge foreman\/deck foreman or Offshore Construction\u00a0Superintendent\/Offshore Construction Manager.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.0 CAMERA<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Level of importance is the same as the pocket size note book. This was the first thing I purchased with my 1st<\/sup> salary and so far it is the best investment I have taken offshore. Plus, snap every photo that you think it will make you as a better Field Engineer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reason \u2013 no camera, this website would have been impossible.<\/span><\/p>\n

3.0 PEN<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Obviously to write in the note book<\/span><\/p>\n

Reason \u2013 unless you are planning to write with blood<\/span><\/p>\n

4.0 FANNY POUCH<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

To store all your gadgets when you are on deck. Although the coverall has plenty of pockets everywhere, I still do not prefer to use them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reason \u2013 you tend to forget to remove things out from the coverall and the next thing you know is it destroyed during the laundry service. Good example is a memory stick and a cigarette lighter for the smokers where it can turn out to be a HSE issue. Imagine a cigarette lighter ending up in a dryer!!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

5.0\u00a0BELT<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

To secure your fanny pouch to your waist.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reason \u2013 the pouch is too big to be inserted into the coverall pockets<\/span><\/p>\n

6.0 CALCULATOR<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Does have to be a scientific calculator. You would not want to be scribbling all over the deck floor\/ tunnel wall to add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reason \u2013 some SIMPLE calculation needs to be perform straight away on deck<\/span><\/p>\n

7.0\u00a0KNIFE<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

To open boxes, cling wraps and goods on deck. Be careful, you might lose this at the airport check-out customs in certain country or even the port customs. Some port you have to go through the security gates for luggage scanning, they might confiscate it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reason \u2013 you may not want borrowing a knife from a rigger all the time. Plus once you have borrowed, you may forget to return it and you may sometime misplaced it on deck and may never be found again. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

8.0\u00a0WALKIE-TALKIE<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Do not need to purchase. Get it onboard the vessel. Normally the brand is Motorola VHF GP328<\/span><\/p>\n

Reason \u2013 make you look like an important field engineer<\/span><\/p>\n

9.0\u00a0PAINT MARKER<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Again sometimes you need this chalk to do permanent markings on the material such as steel plate, pipeline and etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reason \u2013 Pen does not work on all surfaces all the time<\/span><\/p>\n

10.0\u00a0CHALK<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes you need this chalk to do temporary markings on the material such as steel plate, pipeline and etc<\/span><\/p>\n

Reason \u2013 Pen does not work on all surfaces all the time<\/span><\/p>\n

11.0\u00a0USB MEMORY STICK\/THUMB DRIVE\/PENDRIVE<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Reason \u2013 You do not want to go up and down the stair just to get you USB thumb drive. Some vessels the QAQC offices, HSE office or subcontractor office are at lower decks compare to your field engineer office on the vessel<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
