Nobody cared who you were until you put on the Yellow Jumpsuit.
Welcome to the Engineering team New Guy. Your job is to listen to the higher-ups, learn the ropes, and try not to blow someone or something up.
Your two greatest tools as a technical assistant are 'listening' and 'eagerness.' Listen closely to what the engineers are telling you, listen to what the Chief Engineer is advising. Follow an engineer out to do Solars, help with the AME setup, ask atmos if you can learn how to repair the distro network.
Knowing when to Learn
If there's something you don't know, ask. Follow along with the other engineering members when they go to do a repair, ask them if they can show you how to repair a spacing or build a wall.
Request some supplies to mess around with building machine frames, ask to print board requests that come through to learn how to do it.
A technical assistant should be ready to learn and grow their talents whenever they can.
Knowing when to Stay out of the Way
If there's a major issue, know when to stay out of the way. You can help with smaller repairs, but don't rush-headlong into spacings if you don't know what you're doing. At best, you'll save the day when people least expect it. At worst, you're going to get in the way and require rescuing. If you think you're in over your head, you probably are, and ask for assistance.
