Main workplaces

Chemical Engineers they operate in a wide field of work, in traditional industries such as food and beverages and also in other branches, such as the extraction of metallic minerals, oil and gas, fuel refining, manufacturing of chemical and petrochemical products, sugar and alcohol industry. They work in a team, cooperatively, and can supervise or be supervised. They are mostly employed in private companies. When they are linked to universities and research institutes, they usually act as professors or researchers. Eventually, in some activities they carry out, they may be exposed to toxic materials, intense noise and high temperatures.

What does it take to work in the field of Chemical Engineers

The exercise of occupations requires a higher education in Chemical Engineering and similar or Technology in Sugar-Alcohol Production, with registration at CREA. In the job market, professionals with postgraduate and specialization courses have been valued.
