Facilities engineer

Myth vs. Reality: Facilities Management Engineers and Practitioners Myth: Engineers, especially those involved in Facility Management (FM), should be able to repair all mechanical and electrical equipment on their own. There is a common misconception that engineers, especially those who specialize in facility management, should have the technical skills to fix any mechanical or electrical problems. This view often arises from the stereotype that all engineers are "overhaul specialists" who can deal with any technical issue regardless of their expertise. Reality: An Engineer or Facility Management Practitioner is more of a coordinator and manager, not a technician. In fact, the role of an FM professional, especially at the management level, has more to do with overseeing the operational and maintenance aspects of a facility than performing repairs directly. Their responsibilities often include: Planning and Scheduling: Plan maintenance schedules and ensure routine inspections are performed. Coordination: Work with expert technicians and contractors who have technical skills for specific repairs. Compliance and Security: Ensure that all maintenance activities comply with relevant safety standards and regulations. Resource Management: Managing budgets, material purchases, and ensuring efficient use of resources. Key Points: 1. Expertise: Engineers in FM roles often have a general understanding of systems but do not specialize in every technical area such as electrical or mechanical engineering. 2. Delegation: They are adept at identifying problems and delegating tasks to appropriate specialized personnel, such as HVAC electricians or technicians. 3. Focus on Strategy: Their work is more strategic in nature, focusing on optimizing facility operations, improving energy efficiency, and ensuring safety and compliance, rather than technical troubleshooting. Conclusion: The stigma or society's expectation that an Engineer in an FM role needs to be able to fix everything on their own is a myth. In reality, their expertise lies in managing facilities efficiently, coordinating with skilled professionals, and ensuring the smooth operation of all systems. These differences are essential for understanding the true nature of the FM profession and the value it brings to the organization.
