Default being sent, having been sent

Dear teachers,

Could you please confirm the grammatical correctness of the following two pairs exemplary sentences?

1. Your working at the plant helps you to master technical subjects.
2. Your having worked at the plant helps you to master technical subjects.

3. I heard of our head engineer's being sent abroad.
4. I heard of our head engineer's having been sent abroad.

Could you explain to me the distinction of the particular gerundive constructions in the quoted pairs?

Regards.

V.
