Engineers are such workers who deal with various technical devices. The basis of their activities is focused on modernizing or optimizing those solutions that exist on this moment. Beginners in this business are only directly involved in the observation or adjustment of technical devices.

Depending on the category of engineers, workers have different access to technologies, units or equipment. They also have different rights and obligations. Accordingly, with the growth of the category, the range of work performed will increase, as well as

Superficial division of engineers into categories

In domestic practice, there are the following categories of engineers:

1. No category. Workers with this specialization will be able to perform only the simplest actions. Moreover, they cannot make any decisions unless more qualified professionals are watching them.
2. 3 category. Such workers can handle the duties of engineers described above. In addition, they can develop simple drawings. Naturally, they will perform all the work only under the strict supervision of specialists of higher categories.
3. 2 category. Employees cope with the duties listed above, and without the supervision of professionals. In addition, they have access to the development of drawings for individual parts or small simple assemblies. In some cases, designers independently assemble such parts according to the created drawings.
4. 1 category. The employee performs all of the above actions. In addition, if the manager or give certain instructions for the creation of new units, then engineers can and are obliged to carry them out.

You can also note the lead engineer. He is engaged in the development of all the main structures that are used in the enterprise. Plus, they can optimize existing systems and units, develop equipment that will become more competitive.

Category 3 engineers

An engineer of the 3rd category is an executor who carries out orders and instructions from senior management. Usually the role of the latter is played by more qualified specialists. that the engineer performs the basis of his work under strict supervision, he can do some actions on his own:

• Choose auxiliary materials which is more convenient for him to use.
• Independently improves his skills and studies the necessary materials.
• Develops documentation, signs it before transferring to the head.

Thus, despite the limited obligations, all engineers of the 3rd category are an independent work unit, which needs to coordinate its actions with specialists.

Engineers of the 2nd category

An engineer of the 2nd category, when performing his activities, must be guided by normative documents the organization in which he works. Also in his competence lies other documentation.

As a rule, the main job of category 2 engineers is to receive tasks from higher management, then divide it among subordinates. But besides this, he needs to coordinate documentation and activities with other departments. Naturally, the engineer should not deviate from the instructions given by more qualified specialists.

Engineers of the 1st category

Category 1 engineer has much more rights and responsibilities. As his responsibility grows, so does wage. He may have appropriate workers in his subordination, the specific specialization of which will be determined by the direction of the engineer and the enterprise.

• Failure to perform or improper performance of their official duties. In addition, if the engineer's subordinates did not fulfill their obligations, then the manager will be held responsible.
• Offenses committed under labor activity. For example, if safety precautions were not observed during work, the engineer will be held responsible. This applies even to those cases where no one was injured in the violation of TB.
• Causing material damage to the enterprise.

Naturally, such a number of obligations pays off with a high salary, because otherwise no one will want to take on such responsibility.

Category assignment

Assigning a category to an engineer is carried out based on the results of certification. Usually the timing will be set government bodies, but sometimes large companies or businesses hire independent commissions when they believe one or more employees can improve their skills. Otherwise, the following engineers can count on improving professionalism:

• Category 3 is submitted by a specialist who has higher education and at least 3 years of experience.
• Category 2 is submitted by a specialist with a higher education and work experience of a category 3 employee for at least 3 years.
• Category 1 is submitted by a specialist with a higher education and work experience of category 2 for at least 3 years.

Thus, the assignment of a category to an engineer is carried out every three years. Sometimes this time is reduced to 2 years if the specialist worked in difficult conditions or temporarily performed the duties of an employee with more highly qualified. Of course, provided that he did an excellent job with his activities.

Job Responsibilities of Process Engineers

If necessary, he will have to adjust them, modernize or draw up such drawings that will allow other workers to assemble a more modern and technological device. It is impossible to specifically designate the duties of designers, since they will depend on the specifics of the work of the enterprise, as well as on the narrow profile of its specialization.

There are 3 categories of design engineers. Each of them, respectively, allows you to work at different levels. During the implementation of its activity, the constructor uses the following:

• Drawing tools.
• Specially created or developed software.
• Personal computers directly.

Regardless of the category of design engineers, the relevant workers must have a large amount of knowledge. They include any design technologies, as well as technical calculations and methods for their implementation. It is impossible not to note the standards and GOSTs, which are on a par with safety. Any extraneous knowledge is welcome, but it will not necessarily be paid for by management.

Engineering rights

• Suggest management various ways that will help improve working conditions, make them more organized.
• Use scientific literature and materials that will help to cope with duties. That is, it is not at all necessary for any engineer to memorize all the information, from time to time he can use books or magazines.

6. If safety precautions were violated during the work activity, the engineer is obliged to take measures, as well as to inform the management in a timely manner.

If violated, the engineer will bear the responsibility established by law. It will depend on the severity of the offense. For example, an employee may be forced to pay a fine, labor work, arrest or deprivation of property.

Conclusion

It is known what categories of engineers exist today. However, in order to become real, to be in good standing with the authorities, as well as to earn large sums, you need to work hard and study. Otherwise, neither experience nor attempts to get a new category will help improve your specialization. In addition, it is recommended to monitor the release of new provisions, technologies and scientific literature. Engineers are one of the few workers who are required to keep up with modern discoveries, otherwise they will lose their competitiveness.

Do I need to open subcategories

To begin with, having in your rights, for example, category B, you will automatically open subcategory B1.

No need to go anywhere and open subcategories. According to Law "On admission to driving vehicles" dated November 5, 2013 years in part 5 says:
a Russian national driver's license confirming the right to drive vehicles of category "A" also confirms the right to drive vehicles of subcategory "A1" and subcategory "B1" with a motorcycle seat or motorcycle-type steering wheel, category "B" - subcategory "B1" (Besides Vehicle with a motorcycle seat or motorcycle-style handlebars), category "C" - sub-category "C1", category "D" - sub-category "D1", category "CE" - sub-category "C1E", category "DE" - sub-category "D1E".

Also, having a driver's license with any open category, you can drive a vehicle of category M.

How to open a new category in permissions

Now let's move on to the discovery of new categories in their rights. For example, you have category B rights, and you decide to buy a truck, the management of which falls under category C, in order to independently transport building materials to build a summer cottage.

You have decided to open a new category in your rights. According to the new version of the legislation, in order to obtain the rights of any category (open a category), you need go to driving school, and for each pass the entire exam in the traffic police. Prepare and submit on your own external now it is forbidden(Appendix to the Government Decree of November 5, 2013).

There were also changes according to age.

Article 25 federal law"About security traffic» it says that: IV. Admission to take exams
18. The following persons are allowed to take exams (to obtain rights or to open a new category):
1) having not expired medical certificate (even if there is one day left).

2) aged:

• sixteen years - for category "M" and subcategory "A1";
• eighteen years - for categories "A", "B", "C" and subcategories "B1", "C1";
• twenty-one years - for categories "D", "Tm", "Tb" and subcategory "D1";

3) having the right to drive vehicles of category "B", "C" or "D" for at least 12 months - for categories "BE", "CE", "DE", respectively; having the right to drive vehicles of categories "C", "D" or subcategories "C1", "D1" for at least 12 months - for subcategories "C1E", "D1E";

4) passed intermediate certification in educational organization on courses of theoretical training and initial driving training according to the program vocational training drivers of vehicles - for admission to passing a theoretical exam and an exam in initial driving skills;

5) who have passed the final certification in an educational organization under the program of professional training for drivers of vehicles - for admission to passing an exam in driving in traffic conditions.

Therefore, if you want to open a new category in your rights, then look for driving schools that have a license to teach the category you need, and contact them. You will have to study in any case, even if more open high category. This does not give you any advantages, you will have to go and take it on a general basis.

What is retraining?

Now let's move on to the notion of retraining. You can use it if you already have a driver's license. For example: you studied at a driving school in category C.
But then we decided that it would be nice to have a license not only with an open category C, but also with category B. You can do this within 3 months after receiving a driver's license.

The results of the theory exam are valid for 3 months. During this time, you must have time to retrain and pass driving to a new category.

So that you do not start studying at a driving school again from the very beginning for this new category, there is a retraining. You can take advantage of retraining to open a new category by contacting a driving school. Say there that you want to retrain for a new category B (in our case).

Keep in mind that you will be able to get a license with a new category B only one month after obtaining the rights (in our case, with category C). Remember this, because if you come to take a new category, for example, a week after obtaining the rights (in our case, with category C), then the traffic police will refuse to take the exam, convicting you of deception, and they will be right.
Since retraining from one category to another takes about a month, and it can only be completed if you have rights.

Categories and subcategories of rights

And in the end, as promised, I will give the categories of rights that have come into force from November 5, 2013.

Driving licenses with permit marks in the appropriate columns confirm the right to drive vehicles of the following categories and subcategories:
1) category "A" - motorcycles;

3) category "B" motor vehicles (with the exception of vehicles of category "A"), the maximum authorized mass of which does not exceed 3500 kilograms and the number of seats in which, in addition to the driver's seat, does not exceed eight; vehicles of category B coupled to a trailer with a maximum authorized mass not exceeding 750 kilograms; motor vehicles of category "B" coupled to a trailer whose maximum authorized mass exceeds 750 kilograms, but does not exceed the unladen mass of the vehicle, provided that the total authorized maximum mass of such a combination of vehicles does not exceed 3500 kilograms.

13) subcategory "D1E" - by motor vehicles of subcategory "D1", coupled to a trailer, which is not intended for the carriage of passengers, the maximum authorized mass of which exceeds 750 kilograms, but does not exceed the unladen mass of the vehicle, provided that the total authorized maximum mass of such a combination of vehicles does not exceed 12,000 kilograms;

That's all for today. Good luck with opening new categories in rights!

Very often our readers have various questions on the topic "How to open an additional category of a driver's license."

Based on practice, most often a person wants to get category "A" or category "C", having a driver's license with an already open category "B". Also, often with an open category “C”, the driver wants to additionally open category “B”.

In today's material, we will talk in detail about the opening of any category in an existing driver's license. In addition, we will talk about the established examination stages that you need to pass when you open each category or subcategory.

Let's be clear right away: any person will be required to pass qualifying exams in order to get a new category / subcategory in an existing driver's license. The rules define the composition of the exam separately for each subcategory/category, which we will talk about a little further.

Recall: to open a new category, a person must reach a certain age. Each category / subcategory has an individual age threshold - we talked about this in our material "". Let's now analyze the situation with the opening of categories of a driver's license in detail.

The process of opening category "A", category "M" or subcategory "A1" or "B1"

1. Theory exam. Series exam tickets according to the theory of traffic rules, it coincides with a series of tickets for category "B";

How to upgrade from automatic transmission to manual transmission

There are situations when a person decides to get a license in category "B", but with a mark on driving a car with an automatic transmission. Then, due to circumstances, the driver decided to also drive a car with mechanics.

In such a situation, in order to improve their skills, a person will have to take a practical driving test only at the autodrome.

When is the exam not required?

If a new category or subcategory of a driver's license is opened, an exam on knowledge of traffic rules and an exam on driving practice must be passed in all cases. With no exceptions.

Preparing for exams on your own

As of today, it is impossible to prepare on your own for passing exams in order to obtain a driver's license throughout the Russian Federation.

To obtain a driver's license of any category / subcategory of a person in without fail must be trained in a certified driving school.

Until November 05, 2013, it was really possible to prepare and pass exams in categories "A" and "B" on their own. Recall once again: for today, self-training is prohibited.

We hope that after reading the information collected here, it will be possible to open the required category of a driver's license to any of our readers without any questions.
