      Thanks for the question! There are a range of skills that can be learnt over time. Its starts off with some fundamentals like being able to use maths as a tool and having a good analytical mind set that you can apply to an understanding of the different sciences. Next I would say problem solving and team working skills are important to practice. Then its very useful to develop communications skills as being able to explain complex technical things to other helps a lot.

    Great question – I think the great thing about process engineers is that you can work in pretty much any sector, so choose one that you are genuinely interested in. For general process engineering skills, maths and basic chemical knowledge is key. Beyond that, skills like problem solving, team work, presentation/communication, being inquisitive, innovative are all helpful.
