New job worries
Discussion
It's looking like I have a new job.
The job is a step up from where I am currently, and will involve managing and being a technical lead to some Engineers who are in a similar position to where I am myself.
The control systems at the new job are similar to what I've used in the past - however they are a more modern and advanced version. I will also be responsible for introducing a new control system which is more similar to what I currently work on, the current employees have no knowledge on this system.
I am worried about being incompetent when adapting to their new control system and that some of my subordinates may well be at a more advanced stage than myself!
I've prepared for the new software by reading all the manuals I can and running some test programs but there will be field equipment I have never seen before that I will need to adapt to.
I have a supervisor who has worked there for a number of years and is an expert in the control systems, I'm hoping that my introduction to the company will be aided by his knowledge and I'll be brought up to speed quickly.
I am qualified educationally for the job, so there shouldn't be any questions about my competency in this area, I'm really looking forward to the job and developing new machinery for the company (not worried about this as I'll be the project owner and have more control over this)
Any advice for not looking like a sponge?
