Work Prospects

Metallurgical Engineering is a broad field that deals with all sorts of metal-related areas.

Metallurgical engineers are employed in many industries and work for companies that refine, produce, manufacture and distribute metals.  

Because metals are used in so many industries, employment can be in large mills/companies or small consulting firms.

Jobs

Metallurgical engineering graduates looking for jobs need to have an open mind and not limit themselves only to positions that are commonly heard of and blatantly popular i.e. to restrict yourselves to only Steel Mills etc.

Aerospace Industries

There is no doubt that some of the best metallurgical engineering jobs are to be found in the aerospace industries.

The aerospace industry tries to make sure that the materials used are of the highest quality as well as that their performance meets the designed criteria one hundred percent of the time

This puts a tremendous level of burden on materials science and engineering with the result that the best metallurgical engineering jobs are found in this industry

A reasonable understanding of mechanical metallurgy will go a long way in ensuring success in your search for metallurgical engineering jobs in the aerospace industry.

Aerospace Industries

Try to focus your metallurgical engineering job search efforts towards the Research and Development department when it comes to dealing with the aerospace industry.
