Engineering Jobs

The term engineering is used a lot, but do we really know what it means? The dictionary meaning suggests it is the application of science to control and use power, especially by the use of machines. These days a lot of roles are suffixed with engineer, some not always adhering to the dictionary meaning, but it usually evident what the term suggests. A lot of engineering jobs are definitely related to science as they are found in the oil, aerospace, construction, mechanical and pharmaceutical industries.

Less evident, but equally important, are engineering jobs in IT, food & drink, and paper & print industries. Qualifications for the former jobs in engineering would understandably be a degree in engineering, but this is less obvious with those latter roles. Jobs in engineering will often not be desk jobs as there is demand for engineers in a “hard-hat” environment, but just as importantly roles in engineering can encompass technical drawing and forecasting results and behaviours etc, much of which would be accomplished on a computer.

Licensed engineers have formal titles such as Professional Engineer, Chartered Engineer and Incorporated Engineer. Engineers apply technology, mathematics and experience by use of their vision, reasoning and judgment to design and produce useful and practical results.
