Job Titles

In the tech world, we have intersting job titles that often people out-of-the-know do not understand.

The first one I can think of is the title “Resident Engineer”. It is commonly used to refer to a civil engineer. They work on construction projects and do everything from reviewing blueprints to ensuring construction material quality.

And then, there’s “Stationary Engineer”, which refers to an electrical engineer for power generation and other industrial equipment.

For the Flintstones fans, there’s the term “Residential Stationary Engineer,” which folks remember is the janitor… although wearing a fake moustache 👨‍🦰 is not a requirement.

Then, there are firms that disregard common job titles entirely. A company in Dubai that sells mother-and-baby products calls the CEO “Mom” and the intern “Baby”. Everyone has a job title resembling a family role.
