What is a chemist engineer?

Chemist Engineers, often referred to as Chemical Engineers, are professionals who apply principles of chemistry, physics, mathematics, and engineering to solve problems involving the production or use of chemicals, fuel, drugs, food, and many other products. They design processes and equipment for large-scale manufacturing, plan and test production methods, and oversee facility operations. Chemical Engineers work in a variety of industries, including energy, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and environmental protection. Their work ensures that products are produced efficiently, safely, and sustainably.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a chemist engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Chemical Engineer, you need a solid background in chemistry, mathematics, and engineering principles, typically supported by a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering or a related field. Familiarity with process simulation software (like Aspen Plus or ChemCAD), safety regulations, and industry certifications such as FE or PE is often required. Strong problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills set exceptional professionals apart in this role. These skills are crucial for designing safe, efficient processes and collaborating effectively to solve complex engineering challenges.

What are some common challenges a chemist engineer faces when transitioning projects from the laboratory to large-scale production?

Chemist Engineers often encounter challenges when scaling up from lab experiments to full-scale manufacturing, such as maintaining product quality, ensuring process safety, and optimizing cost-efficiency. Variations in reaction yields, unexpected equipment issues, and the need for strict regulatory compliance can complicate this transition. Effective collaboration with multidisciplinary teams—including safety, quality assurance, and production staff—is crucial to address these challenges and refine processes for consistent, safe, and economical operation.

  • Relevant experience in lieu of a degree will be considered
  • Strong analytical, mechanical, and problem-solving skills
  • Demonstrated aptitude and interest in science, technical work, mechanical equipment, chemistry, and air quality
  • Hands-on experience in a laboratory, technical setting, or engineering project (academic or professional)
  • Experience in mechanical work, laboratory research, or field science preferred
  • Knowledge of EPA source test methods/procedures, air quality or emissions monitoring equipment, and related techniques preferred
  • Ability to travel as needed for field projects across the country
  • Ability to pass background checks and initial and random drug screenings
  • Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) preferred, or equivalent experience hauling trailers over long distances
ERG offers competitive salaries and excellent benefits, including health and dental insurance, life insurance, long-term disability, educational benefits, FSAs, a generous 401k plan, profit sharing, an EAP, 11-20 paid vacation days per year, 10 paid holidays per year, 56 hours or more of sick leave (based on the state you work in) per year (pro-rated for part-time) and more.
