Chemical Engineers once qualified, work in a wide range of companies and fields. They produce a wide variety of products ranging from fuels and petrochemicals to inorganic bulk chemicals, food and beverage, household products such as soaps and detergents, pharmaceuticals, polymers and fine chemicals. Their job is to transform efficiently and safely raw materials into useful products with minimum environmental impact.
