Specialties that change your pay

• Process safety

  Preventing the explosion, not cleaning up after it. Specialized, well paid and always short of people.

• Process control and automation

  The software and instruments that run a plant without a human turning a valve.

• Pharmaceutical manufacturing

  Highly regulated production. Slower, cleaner and paid comparably to oil and gas in some markets.

• Semiconductors

  Chip fabrication is chemical engineering, and the new American plants are hiring hard.

• Simulation and modeling

  Being the person who can actually build the process model gets you onto the interesting projects.
