Introduction:
A chemical engineer is responsible for developing raw material into a useful product. Chemical engineers are involved in the design and development of a diverse range of products. They focus on changing the chemical, biochemical and physical state of a substance into a raw material that can be used to make plastic from oil. They can work in a variety of sectors like energy, food and drink, oil and gas, plastic, toiletries, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment. Some job duties of a chemical engineer include providing engineer support for chemical operation and equipment, assist in designing improved and new chemical process, implement new ideas to improve operational quality and efficiency, coordinate plan and schedule project activities for chemical technicians, provide technical support to maintain reliable operations, troubleshoot quality and safety issues promptly.
