Meaning of “Process driven”? + “support quotations”?
Hi! I’m tasked with translating the term “process driven,” but I’m uncertain about its meaning. Context: This term appears in a list of key competencies that an engineer should possess. Does it imply that a person must be motivated by their work? Additionally, I need clarification on the phrase “support quotations.” Context: This is part of a list detailing an engineer’s responsibilities. The sentence reads: “able to support quotations, solve simple applications...” Thank you!

Process Driven – Able to do work independently by following a designed process. Basically, they will take the steps needed to achieve a goal without skipping, adding or changing steps and without needing to be told to explicitly by a supervisor.
Support Quotations – I’m less sure, but I would imagine they mean able to give evidence to show why a given deliverable has a certain cost. Most often this would be to explain why something costs as much as it does or takes as long as it does. It’s more a task they may be given than a description of the person.

It stems from the era of the Viet Nam conflict, when people opposed to the war would erroneously blame the returning veterans for having done what they had been told was their duty while in the service. It was a really ugly scene all around, and when the US first went to war against Iraq in the ’90’s, it became fashionable to proclaim one’s “support of the troops” in an undercover acknowledgement that what had happened 20 years earlier was bogus and ought not to be repeated; that regardless of what we thought of the war, we wouldn’t vent our rage on the (ironically by then all-volunteer) veterans. This has been cunningly maipulated during the current conflict to attack those opposed to the war as non-supportive of the troops. These are two separate issues. they are not the same thing. One is expression of philosophical opposition to a policy and series of decisions, the other is in some way insulting or assaulting the returning individual participants simply for having participated, knowing nothing of the circumstances of their service. It’s a trick, a smokescreen, a diversion. Your initial premises are right, by the way.
