Just a question to anyone reading, but do you think the responsibilites
listed below are typical of that of a designer/drafter, or would you think
this more in lines of someone with a full Engineering degree, as some of it
appears to be project management?

Just looking for comments....

 

The requirements would definitely take a well seasoned designer to
fulfill. Maybe they feel they can't afford an engineer, but a
Designer with these qualifications isn't going to be cheap.

It's about what I do, less the forging and stamping. Small company, I wear many
hats, wish I got paid for them all.

"Back in the old days" many of these were the engineers job, but they're too
busy in Sales now.

Heh...yea - The reason I was asking was that I had looked at this and said
"hey, that used to be my job decription at my last company!" - then I did a
little digging and found out that it WAS my last company and they are
looking again to replace the person who replaced the person who replaced me
after I left 2-1/2 years ago (follow that?) You are somewhat correct
though except that it's not because they can't afford an Engineer, it's that
they are bit too "frugle" to do it.

I'm just glad I'm not looking or in need of a job right now, as that would
have been a bit embarasing to submit a resume to a company I left! But
like I said, I was just curious on what people's thoughts were on the job
description vs. who they think could fill it....Guess I'm "well seasoned"

 

I was attempting to be diplomatic. The word cheap jumped in my mind,
but my "seasoning" stifled my impulse to use it.

I know the feeling.
