Just retired last July and I can honestly say that I have hit each one of these categories except for EHS, although spending a lot of time in Product Stewardship roles gets close. I do think you downplayed what PLC's can be and are used for. My last employer uses sophisticated multi-module PLC's to control operation in each of 4 different plants on one site. These are all feeding data into the cloud and the data visibility and new capabilities for the operations are next level. This allows insight into manufacturing processes that just wasn't possible even 5 years ago. Some pretty neat stuff. The other thing you could mention about research & development is the opportunity to generate new intellectual property that can earn your company serious $$. I have been fortunate enough to be granted several chemical composition patents and it is very satisfying. Great video.
:) I'm a Chemical Engineer that started as a Process/Design Engineer at a small chemical plant and transitioned after 2 years to Design Engineer at an EPC firm. I didn't enjoy the poor work life balance of Process Engineering for a chemical plant though I did work for a site with ~100 people, not 500+ or so, so I had more responsibilities than a focused job at a bigger company. I like the Design Engineer position I have now more, as the 40 hour/week work life balance is really really nice, but the job stability is definitely less. It seems like 1-2 engineers are laid off every 1-2 years, in the team of 30 Design Engineers.
Great and quite thorough list. As a experienced Process Engineer I was pleased that you begin your list with this awesome and valuable position. I couldn't agree more! Keep going your nice work here spreading the word about Chemical Engineering. Cheers
as a process engineer could you please explain the role more clearer. i do not understand what our role is after we finished the design of he process. the rest is for technicians not for us. that what i don't understand
Thank you for creating this kind of content. I'm a 1st year Chemical Engineering student and I'm looking forward for your videos! This will really help me a lot.
So soeaking of programming skills, we all know most engineering majors take some programming classes. So i found out my friends dad graduated ChemE and still got a software job. It may have been that his labs at hia school intergrated olenry of programming and such, though. Very flexible major.
I'm looking to get into the fragrance industry. I mostly will be making my own products. Is this a good degree to attach with me since i'm already in the industry
I come from a biomedical science background. What would you recommend someone trying to become a process scientist/engineer do to catch up with for example someone with a chemical engineering degree?
thank you for your valuable content.I'm majored in chemical engineering-food industry but i don't know really what major to choose in master my question is if i choose process engineering can i work as a process control section? actaully the niversit i wan to apply for just have environmental-water treatment and process engineering and biorefinding majors,, actually it doesn't have quality control
The role that sounds the most interesting for me is research and development it’s probably cause I’m more of the scientist type rather then an engineer 😅 And actually my major currently is chem engineering but I may or may not change it and go to science in the future cause I know it’s mostly physics and math and I’m more of chem and bio type of person but I also like physics but not as much as those 2 and for me math is just a tool 😅 but idm it
Hi. please tell me exactly what you said in 11:34.... I cannot get out of my head the phrase "qué mierda pasas" (or what shit is going on...) I'm really amused by it as I'm actually on top of that each single day of my working life and at home as well. As you might have guessed... I'm a Chemical Engineer as well with 11 years in a plant...
It can happen but it's not as common in the US. The faster way to make this happen is if you get a second degree in chemical engineering or get a masters in chemical engineering.
Yeah there can be a lot of overlap. Lots of software companies focus on process control, developing products for chemical plants and working as contractors/ consultants for them as well. However, to work directly for a chemical company as a process control engineer, you might need more chemical engineering background.
You are the only one on youtube to make such this kind of content related to chemical engineering!! 💯 👌👌

Great work Eggs... Watched a lot of your videos recently. You're doing a great job covering Chemical/Process Industry
Thanks! Glad you enjoy them!
Thanks Eggs for another awesome video! I’ve been sharing your videos with the chemical engineering department at the college I study
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Thank you for creating this kind of content. I'm a 1st year Chemical Engineering student and I'm looking forward for your videos! This will really help me a lot.
Would smash the like button regardless but extra points for the Pokémon reference at the end!
Haha thanks
The US Chemical Safety Board on UA-cam has some very informative videos on process safety if anyone's interested. Great vid!
My favorite UA-cam channel! Such amazing content
I am new to your channel. I am a 5+ years of experience Chemical Engineering, experienced working on Quality Assurance within the food industry.
You are the best man! Thanks!
Could you possibly discuss consulting? Great video, by the way!
Thanks, good idea I'll try to make a video on that!
Very usefull information, looking forward for more content!
Awesome, more to come!
Great content! I was waiting for someone to do a video about the possible areas where a chem eng can work. Thank you!!

Awesome vid! Which roles are you thinking of specializing in?
Thanks! I mostly focus on process engineering and product development. How about you?
@@EggsEngineering product development right now, hope to do more process engineering in the future as well!
Hi I'm a 15 year old boy from the UK who wants to pursue chemical engineering/software career. I'd love if you could give me some advice.
I'm looking to get into the fragrance industry.
I mostly will be making my own products.
Is this a good degree to attach with me since i'm already in the industry
Is it just me who got scared of the graph flip sfx at 6:46?
Great video thanks eggs
Nice video, great channel.
Thanks!
Its so hard to find suitable job that you prefer specially in the field of chemical engineering, entry level jobs requires a lot of qualifications
Great video. Very helpful.

Process engineers design the process too, mechanically and controls/instrumentation
The role that sounds the most interesting for me is research and development it’s probably cause I’m more of the scientist type rather then an engineer 😅
And actually my major currently is chem engineering but I may or may not change it and go to science in the future cause I know it’s mostly physics and math and I’m more of chem and bio type of person but I also like physics but not as much as those 2 and for me math is just a tool 😅 but idm it
what do you call when eggs works in a plant?
Eggplant :)
Great vid by the way!
Lol I might use that!
Loving this content, so informative to me as a rising junior ChemEng student. Thanks!
Process control jobs are typically done by Electrical Engineers.
Thank you!
Really interested in process control but I am just an average at programmer.
Well you can always pick up on stuff as needed, process control isn't all programming
Definitely gonna be a design engineer
Hey could u please guide on Sales and Services in the energy Sector Job Roles too
Hey bro plz make video on chemical and cosmetic link , its jobs and more
Great idea, thanks!
@@EggsEngineering waiting
Why didn't I watched this video when I had to choose my career? 😢
Hi. please tell me exactly what you said in 11:34.... I cannot get out of my head the phrase "qué mierda pasas" (or what shit is going on...) I'm really amused by it as I'm actually on top of that each single day of my working life and at home as well. As you might have guessed... I'm a Chemical Engineer as well with 11 years in a plant...
He said "coming out of that process"
hey ı am studying chemistry , but can ı do chemical engineering as well? thanks
It can happen but it's not as common in the US. The faster way to make this happen is if you get a second degree in chemical engineering or get a masters in chemical engineering.
@@EggsEngineering thank you :)
what about consultants?
Can Software engineers do process control too?
hablas español no?
Yeah there can be a lot of overlap. Lots of software companies focus on process control, developing products for chemical plants and working as contractors/ consultants for them as well.
