Career Opportunities

The working areas of a Polymer Materials Engineer are generally classified within the Chemical Industry. When the export values are analyzed, which are the main parameters in the development of the chemical industry, it is seen that 40% of the total export of the whole chemical industry is done by the polymer industry alone. When the structure and size of the companies operating in the plastic industry are evaluated, it can be considered that the employment capacity in the field of chemistry is much higher than 40%.

In which sectors can polymer engineers work under the title of “Plastics and Plastic Products” and “Rubber and Rubber Products”?

The Polymer Materials Engineer can easily find work in all areas where plastic and rubber materials are produced / used. However, especially in the following fields:

• Aerospace industry
