I agree 100%. Great overview! Overall it is definitely a good position, however, in the last years working as a Process Engineer I couldn't put up with the night shifts and extensive hours during a turnaround for instance. It's too exhausting and overwhelming.
@@afzalansari8519 i think that process engineer is required with process of products and process design engineer is related with construction of any kind of equipments.that is my mind)
I’m looking at getting a Job as a Process Engineer. I have a Mechanical Engineer Degree, but I got a Entry job as a Manufacturing engineer at a Aerospace company. And got laid off during Covid. And I wasn’t sure if a Process Engineer Role was a good road to go down. It sounds like it’s a Manufacturing and Industrial engineer, combined.
It depends on the industry/ company, but yeah they generally tend to take a step back from the day-to-day and focus on bigger picture technical issues.
I'm doing work like this at the moment as an Industrial Engineer intern (I should mention that there is currently no full-time industrial engineer to carry or guide any of the work I am doing). It's amazing, exciting, it changes a lot, definitely exciting and interesting work. I would say 100% go for it if it's what you wanna go for
Another thing that not a lot of people talk about is the hierarchy of a company. A big, corporate company may have you work with a team of engineers and if you want a small project, go for it. But smaller companies may not have a team of engineers. You may come in as the new engineer with 1 other senior engineer, if you're lucky, and you have 1 boss that you must report to for everything. You basically become a soldier for your boss, they prioritize your projects, they tell you to work on projects, they can even tell you to stop working on projects. All in all, a general rule of thumb is to ask questions and ask your supervisor before doing anything if you're new. Even if they are reletively hands off, I'm sure they'd rather tell you "yeah sure, you don't have to tell me about it next time" as opposed to "I prefer you tell me about it first"
5 months into my first Process engineering position, and the main things that hit home with me are the irregular hours and being physically strenuous. It's very hands on and I'm always on my feet (lost 5kg so not complaining haha), also sacrificing evenings or really early starts, but I'm loving it so far!
@@booperdooprr2663apologies for the interjection but it depends if the person is in a junior or senior position as a process engineer. Senior level usually earns more. It depends on the level of work experience that you have in the professional field as well.
I started as a machine operator 18 years ago...then was trained inhouse as die setter....from there I went to tier 2 die setter making around 50k ...I then became a start up tech working with the process techs after completing my pulsen class I was certified as process tech...I make about 68 - 70k a year depending on year I made 73 last year....I love my job I look forward to going to work because they depend on me two get things going .....also in my area there not many 2 shot process techs so that makes me very valuable..
I watch your videos for motivation really really love them 😀 Could you please make a video on what role does a process control engineer has as a Chemical engineer.
I’m about to start my course power and process engineering in a year. But i’m feeling nervous for some reason. Any advice that I can expect from the course ?
Bruh can you tell me how about the food manufacturing job opportunities In USA,Uk...etc for chemical engineers? (Paper and pulp, pharmaceutical, polymer) and scope in your country as well?
I'm really struggling to choose in between chemical engineering, process engineering and production engineering. I also have plans to do master's. So, what would be the better option and more flexible degree to take in bachelor's?
As a current process engineer, I would say Chemical engineering degrees are generally considered to be the most flexible, though you will likely find that problem solving techniques from any field of engineering are what carry over the most to your specific career.
So, I’ve been offered a Manufacturing Electrical Test Engineering position with a good company in CO. Here’s the thing: I haven’t graduated yet and my degree is in ME…though I have a ton of experience as an Engineering Test Technician. Is it a good idea to accept the offer despite I haven’t graduated yet nor is it a ME position
You didn't mention how engineers don't like floor workers. Some hate them and feel like they're gods compared to everyone else. There's always....always been rivalry between a skilled tradesman and the engineer that watches over the areas they work in.
I have watch your all videos with in 2 days...I have 7 years of experience in production department know i am thinking to switch to automation part in chemical industry...how can i start pzzz guide me
question pleaaaase... i've got offered to do semi career shift in my current company.. i currently work in the lab as qc chemist in the refinery laboratory.. the job offered is process engineer in the same refinery.. the question is, can i apply for process engineering jobs in other companies in future? or they won't accept me because my bachelors is chemistry not engineering.. the university degree and the job role are not the same.. please answer me if ur sure about it
Great pros and cons list. Each company has different expectation of Process Engineer. Beware if your job role also encompass production responsibilities such as inventory, staffing, scheduling etc. Personally, I am more passionate about the Engineering side and left a job after it became 90% Production and 10% Engineering.
I'm about to start school in two months and I'm really interested in technology but I also get discouraged because of math. How difficult is the math before I decide to commit 4 years
@@josuejuarez7181 yeah man that's what's stopping me from doing any kind of engineering. I only have 1 shot to pick because I'm using my military Gi bill benefits my school is all free only once
you don't need to have high math skills for all process engineering jobs. Just have to be a good problem solver and come up with great ideas to make something better.
I was hired before right before covid. No training and thrown in there. Dire consequence if things go wrong. Do not recommend. If you have a nasty trainer that doesn't care for you. Consider your job gone. Happened to me. Find something with good training. Safety matters!
I’m about to take up manufacturing engineering when I go to school. sooooo basically don’t fuck up on the job Please don’t tell me I have to know a lot on chemistry 🧪
Haha you will be fine I'm sure. Congratulations! Probably will need to pick up on the chemistry of the process, but I doubt they expect you to be a chemist. Let me know how it goes!
It's very truth. I worked for 10 years as operation engineer. You are very depend on and holding responsibility. Depend on your manager, you can also hold much more responsibility that is outside of your pay grade. At the end of the year and look at your W2, your salary grow 50% less than the inflation. You will be asking yourself why the hell work as operation engineer. You have to work as operator, supervisor and sometimes manager because they quit or not reliable, and you have to do other people's job because "you know how". All you hear is "you are good asset to the company, but we can't raise your salary" Just don't join operation engineer. It's not worth it. All production job is outsourcing in the future. There is no future for production engineer.
Congrats on the interview! Yes production engineering is very similar to process engineering. There's a lot of overlap and sometimes companies use the terms interchangeably. Although they don't differ too much, one general difference is that production engineers can focus on more day-to-day issues and process engineers may focus on more long-term projects
I am soon to be joining a consulting company as an EIT that has hinted that they'd like to develop my skill set towards process engineering (recent mech eng grad). Any advice on how to start building these skills? Know its hard to offer advice as you dont know the job situation, but any blanket comments might help. Thanks
I might be a bit late, but you should look into getting a six sigma certification or even a lean six sigma certification. This is very valuable for a process engineer
I have been watching a lot of your videos. This one about process engineering was the most interesting to me. I am studying civil engineering. Do you see many process engineers with civil degrees hired as process engineers? We take some chem/process related classes, but is it important to have that full Chem Engineering background?
im a process engineer, my colleagues who did civil engineering in university, their field of work is mainly designing the fundament of a tank for example, but they lack knowledge in the section of thermodynamics and chemical reaction engineering chemical engineers are nearly the same as process engineers, but process engineers are having a lot of elements from mechanical engineering and automation engineering too
As a current process engineer and a large manufacturing company, we do not see many civil engineers hired. However, I would say the one of the most important things we look for is problem solving skills, which I think carry over from nearly any engineering degree.
I started taking production engineering at college, and I discovered that I really like the hardware part of computer science and robotics, not so much other parts of engineering, so I changed my major to computer science and im taking a technician degree in industrial automation, and in the future I'm planning to take a technologist degree in robotics or automation / software engineering (programming applied to robotics)
Worked in a process engineering r&d lab as a chemist. Had an excellent boss.
That’s very cool 🙂👍🏼 very rare to find good leaders nowadays.
I hate chemical engineering.
