Talk to Airswift today about opportunities to grow your chemical engineering career.
Chemical engineers play a vital role within the energy and process industries. They take raw materials, such as crude oil and natural gas, and convert them into fuels that can be used for jobs like heating homes.
Additives and complex chemicals are necessary to get crude oil into a usable form so it can power the machinery, electronics and automobiles we rely on every day.
Here at Airswift, we provide recruitment and workforce solutions to some of the world’s biggest energy and process corporations. We are here to help chemical engineers find the right role for their skills, expertise and career goals.
Chemical engineers are involved in designing and developing a diverse range of products. Their work focuses on changing the chemical, physical and biophysical state of a substance into something else. For example, they might make plastic out of oil.
The responsibilities involved will depend largely on your role and the sector you work in. A typical job description might include:
To pursue a career in chemical engineering, you’ll need a strong understanding of how to alter raw materials whilst adhering to health, safety and cost requirements.
Candidates usually need a bachelor degree in chemical engineering, although some organisations accept degrees in process or biochemical engineering as well. To gain chartered engineer status as your career develops, your degree should be accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE).
Some employers also accept HND or foundation degrees in applied or physical sciences.
It’s also important to have relevant work experience in order to secure a chemical engineering job.
