There are different types of engineers, and the jobs within them vary significantly. For jobs in this sector, you will likely need a bachelor’s degree in engineering, but in some cases, degrees in math or science would also be accepted.

Some of the most common types of engineering are:

• Civil engineering: The oldest form of engineering is civil engineering, where people are employed by the government and responsible for the infrastructure of cities, such as roads, buildings, and bridges. Civil engineers are responsible for the entire building project, making sure that it is safe, efficient, cost-effective, and compliant with regulations.
• Mechanical engineering: Mechanical engineers work on the design and manufacturing of machines and mechanical products. This could be anything from a car battery to a toaster oven. Because there are so many variations of mechanical engineering, you can find work in many fields, such as automotive, aerospace, or robotics.
• Industrial engineering: This form of engineering is often used in business in multiple industries to evaluate and optimize production. Companies are constantly looking to improve their functions and minimize costs, and industrial engineers are a valuable part of that optimization process. They plan for and oversee projects, working closely with management to ensure smooth operations.
• Chemical engineering: Chemical engineers work with chemicals, such as those used in pharmaceuticals, food processing, and other industries. If you have an interest in chemistry and production processes, this role might be a good fit for you.
• Electrical engineering: Electrical engineers are responsible for working with electrical equipment - everything from the initial designs and functionality to the implementation, testing, and management of the production. Electrical engineering is a broad field and includes electrical & power engineering, telecommunications, control systems, and more. If you’re interested in computer engineering or software engineering, have a look at available positions in Information Technology.
• Process engineering: These engineers work in manufacturing to design processes for anything from pharmaceuticals to biotechnology. They work similarly to chemical engineers who are more involved in the product, using chemistry to work on formulas that will transfer raw materials into products.
