Career Opportunities

The professional activities of a Chemical Engineer range from the chemical industry itself (petrochemicals, polymers, paper, fibers and textiles, etc.) to other related sectors, such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food, and environmental engineering. In our immediate region, the aerospace and mining and extractive industries also employ numerous graduates in this branch of engineering.
Their training allows them to work in engineering, design, or consulting firms, providing technical, legal, or commercial advice, and in public administration. They also have the option of working independently, preparing reports and expert opinions, or teaching in public institutions at the secondary and university levels. Another important field is occupational safety and risk prevention in all types of industrial facilities.
In the crucial field of Environmental Management, they can carry out tasks related to planning, research, development, construction, installation, and operation of equipment and systems for the management and treatment of effluents, waste, and contaminated soils, and, in general, minimizing environmental impacts and optimizing environmental management, or through processes for the recovery and valorization of waste materials.
The Master's in Industrial Engineering provides the necessary skills to find employment in all industrial sectors, from heavy industry to the manufacture of capital goods, including mechanical, metallurgical, chemical and petrochemical industries, energy production, electricity generation, automotive, rail, food processing, electronics, automation and robotics, and many more. It also prepares graduates for positions in technical offices, industrial project development departments, and public administrations. The Master's in Industrial Engineering confers the professional qualifications of an Industrial Engineer, enabling graduates to practice independently.
