Much like other engineering sectors, travelling is a huge advantage of working in the chemical industry. Once you’re, qualified and experienced, you can work almost anywhere in the world. Your skills are likely to be transferable for different areas of chemical engineering and you could work with any organisation.

Engineers are in demand globally and with the chemical industry constantly developing, you’ll be needed in many places, so it’s likely that you will have the freedom to choose where you live and work.

There is no one thing or project within chemical engineering. You learn one thing and you can use that knowledge and skill to branch off onto another project that grabs your attention. So, if you have worked with materials for a long time and you are craving a change, you can transfer your skills into biotechnology.

It’s important that we move away from perceptions that this is just one industry. When you look past the cover and really delve into what you can achieve, the opportunities can be endless.

This panel session will include industry representatives who will share their experiences of where their careers have taken them around the world and the different industries chemical engineers can work in.
