Hello there,
I'm a recent graduate chemical engineer and is eagerly seeking for a job mainly concerning oil & energy industries. However, I still don't have a very clear picture of what positions can chemical engineers fit into or what they can work. As far as I know there is one called process engineer, but I believe there are still many other positions that are applicable.
I'm all ears to listen every point of view and advices.
Thank so much in advance for your time and consideration.
At the start you should not look for any specific type of job let alone any sector like oil & gas. Try to get a job at first try to communicate.
Get membership in AIChe & ICheME , Build a good CV. If you get two of three jobs then try to decide which one to chose not before
Much appreciated for your advice. I'll try becoming AiChe & ICheMe membership as it looks very resourceful.
And so I will just have to apply for any related job first to build my experience and then look for a more specific job?
By the way, I am sorry for any informality as I am not a native english speaker.
Thank you so much again sir! :tickled_pink:

If you are chemical engineer you can become Mud Engineer and in the future well drilling fluids engineer/specialist.

I never thought that I could apply for that position! I will research for more information to see if it interests me!
Thank you very much sir.

Hello,
I live in Thailand and am looking for a job first in here. But still, I am willing to work internationally if there is an opportunity for me to go.

International opportunity is very rear even for experienced engineer. So look in your locality first. Just work hard. Dont leave the books. Whatever you have studied. Read again again. I made some notebooks after my graduation when i was looking for job. Summarized all the equations i studied during my undergrad in that notebook. And guess what i did not miss a single technical answer in viva. Simple work hard and make yourself perfect.

Dear sir,
Thank you very much for your advice. The fundamental subjects such as Fluids, Thermodynamics and etc that I had studied before I can obviously revise them as I still have the textbooks. However, there may be other subjects that are not taught in university but it is used a lot in real world such as P&IDs (this one my university never taught). So may I ask that if there is any other subjects or specific knowledge that is a must for chemical engineers so I could do self-study while finding a job. I am sorry if what I ask might be too broad, but I truly just want to get a clearer look of what I am going to do.
Many thanks in advance

Sorry of being late...next time please drop me a message in inbox Please Call me by my name. "Chinmoy" I don't think your employer will ever want to know whether you know how to develop P&ID. It is impossible to master by oneself rather teamwork is necessary, Rather you should be able to clearly present the basic phenomena behind every unit operation. For example my viva question was.
Though i liked this video regarding P&ID development the Prof. is good. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WD-ZGXPDn8]Drawing a P&ID - P&ID Tutorial - Reactor & water cooling - YouTube[/url]
Distillation Column Basic theory---Mass transfer
Distillation column Control system --- Cascaded control
Type of pump and their detail drawing curves..
Control PID contrul Tuning
Control valve Cv calculation
etc

I would encourage you to get AMICheme membership from IChemE though i am not sure it will help to a great degree but it might who knows.
there is lots of thing to study you have to get a job first.
Hope these helps
