Choose the right perspective
Check whether the person's relevant role is current or past and whether it focused on process technology or on site and capital project engineering. Ask them for one plant or project decision they owned and what they would do differently.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01Tell me about a time you chose between a cheaper process and a more reliable one. What made you decide, and what actually happened?
- 02Which technical constraint—equipment limits, material properties, or something else—has most affected your ability to meet delivery dates?
- 03When operating costs ran higher than expected, what was the root cause, and how did you fix it?
