Chemical Engineering Recruiting Specialties
Chemical engineering is one of the most diverse engineering professions out there, with opportunities in virtually every single sector. Hiring to fill this bevy of niche applications takes a clear understanding of not only the profession itself, but also each industry where chemical engineers are in demand. Some of the key areas of specialization we place talent in include:
- Environmental chemistry. We live in the age of climate change and there’s a concerted effort in every industry to combat it. Chemical engineering plays a pivotal role, particularly in environmental applications ranging from alternative energy development to ecological remediation efforts. Chemical engineers are frequently on the front lines of environmental initiatives—including those paving the path to a sustainable future.
- Pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry. From drugmakers to genetic engineering organizations, there’s exponential demand for biomedical engineering talent—now and in the future. The quest to improve human health and wellness is constant, and breakthrough innovations often come at the hands of engineers who possess an understanding of the human body’s chemistry.
- Materials and textiles chemistry. The production of consumer goods is ever amplified by innovations in materials synthesis and processing. Whether it’s the development of a new injection molding resin or an enhanced formulation that reduces outgassing in synthetic materials, chemical engineers are on the forefront of improving the products we use each and every day—for those using them and the environment.
- Oil and petroleum chemistry. Demand for chemical engineers in the oil and petroleum industry is on the rise, driven by the ever-evolving nature of extraction and refinement techniques. From engineering more effective fracking methods to crude planning, HAZOPs and PSM studies, there’s abundant demand for skilled engineers capable of contributing to the high-level of success of petroleum extraction, refining, engineering and transport operations.
- Nuclear and reaction chemistry. Nuclear power is vital to national security. Even more important are the chemical engineers overseeing the safe and efficient operation of these plants. We assist nuclear and reaction-focused operations in finding experienced chemical engineers to assist with isotope separation, fuel reprocessing, waste management and numerous other high-level, highly sensitive processes.
- Food chemistry. Food science is constantly evolving, spurred on by demand for richer nutrition and more efficient cost-per-calorie metrics. Chemical engineers play a crucial role in advancing food development, and there’s growing need for food science professionals who understand the biology of both food and people, and how to bring them together to greater benefit.
- Process chemistry. Research chemists are bringing new synthetics to light regularly, which means there’s a growing demand for process chemists to transform them into marketable solutions. We connect organizations with executive-level process chemists who can chart the path forward to lucrative new values streams using inborn research.
From petrochemical engineering to biomedical engineering, food science to material synthesis, chemical engineering spans a diverse range of industries. M&A Executive Search makes sure you have access to the expertise and experience that’s relevant to yours.
