I'm a CHP engineer. Working in energy centres and commercial building. I'm interested in moving into Bms systems and trying to upskill into this sector. Currently I'm doing some panel work and mostly mechanical repairs but want to focus more on panel/electrical/controls
I'm a Mechanical Technicians working on gas turbines which uses AB PLC for controls. I'm researching online and trying to wrap my head around it all. You are a great teacher and I have learn much from your channel. Thanks for the good work.
Genuinely, thank you very much. This has calmed my mind. I was sold the lie that degrees would get me a good start, and I am restarting again to start a career.
Great info I've been out in the field and some PLC adjusting but working my way into engineering and understanding everything else form California thank you friend
Show us too how can a fresh graduated in automation and control system should deal with and set up his own business..... What should I go through to realize it
Nice one Chris, good video this. I reached out to you about a year ago with regards to getting into controls and you offered me great advice. I am now a trainee BMS commissioning engineer, enjoying it and feeling a lot more positive about my career. I am definitely happy in BMS but just curious, how viable is it to transition into industrial controls later on? Cheers
That’s amazing mate, well done and thanks for sharing that with me! 👊🏼 It’s very viable indeed mate as you’re build skills, knowledge and understanding in Electrical Controls which is the skill set that underpins all these industries. Before I got into BMS I was doing Industrial, it’s an easy move to make. Keep learning and stay curious bud 🙂👍🏼
Thanks for the info. Shared it with a few sparks. Only thing that I would have liked more clarity on was is it necessary to at leadt get a level 2 in electrotechnology. I hear many bms guys state that that have electric tickets.
The guy I used to contract used to be a car salesman back in the day and has no formal technical qualifications. So no is my answer but it’s not going to hurt.
You mentioned “control philosophy,” I am unsure if this is a real term but it seems to have a lot that could be behind it. I’d like to learn Industrial automation, and I don’t have a giant understanding of electrical components or the “philosophy” behind it. Where can I go to learn about these in an impactful manner?
Great vid , am a qualified sparks with testing quals/experience also gas registered heating engineer and have worked for commercial boiler manufacturer but now looking towards the bms field. Good to hear the benefit of your experience 👍
Thanks Haydn, you’ve got a very good foundation to build upon mate, I’m sure you’ll do very well in the BMS industry. If you’re ever looking for coaching or training to help you move into the industry much quicker than doing it on your own just give me a shout and we can have a chat 👍🏼
Coming from the US, is it recc. to get atleast a certificate when applying to entry level roles in automation? Have a chemE background but recently discovered a deep interest in controls and automation.
I've just started my electrician apprenticeship you thing I could learn it from now or should I wait to finish my apprenticeship? Or only engineerings can work with it?
In an effort to gain practical experience, I purchased a secondhand Omron setup that got obsoleted but had its previous life in controlling a lock system between lakes(lochs?). The trouble I've run into is aquiring the software to program and generally mess around with the hardware. Even the cables (SYSMAC) are proprietary, but if I could get over that hump and actually start using the thing, I have relays for days. Are there any back channel ways for an individual on a shoestring trying to get into this industry to get started with the hardware? Should I bail on the setup I have and find a different manufacturer?
Hi chris, how does a person equipped with all the skills and knowledge but not much experience get into automation field in entry level jobs or junior level? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
There’s a bit more to it than this but ultimately reach out to the owners of small businesses and convince them to give you an opportunity. This worked for me.
Hi chris can someone without experince in the electrical industry can do that what will be recommended career path for them. Please if you can elaborate that many thanks
