Work on the quality of your writing. Make quality, grammatically correct sentences when talking to fellow engineers, even if you think that it's not a formal setting. You need to stand out for your efforts and your professionalism.

How are your soft skills? Can you talk to operators, management, and clients (they need to know different things and use different language)? This includes presentations, emails, meetings, documents.
