Mentoring in Mechanical Integrity

A custom-designed program developed to focus on guiding junior engineers in mechanical integrity, with on-the-job-training covering a broad range of topics and real cases. Learning is personalized and developmental, not just task-based, emphasizing knowledge transfer, engineering judgment, and use of best industry and company practices. The goal is professional development and technical competence in mechanical integrity.
