How would you describe people who typically thrive in this industry?
The commissioning engineers I've known who typically thrive from day one have a hunger to succeed. They're self-directed and extremely dedicated.
One of the biggest factors is that they show up on time, put in the hours, and are willing to admit when they don't know something. Those are the people who thrive, because there will always be things you don't know or don't know how to do.
Someone very wise once told me, "Don't ever act like the smartest guy in the room." The one who is actually the smartest will just let you make a fool of yourself. So, it's very important that you know your limits and capabilities, but that you show up and work as hard as you can every day.
