Career prospects are generally good within this branch of engineering. Due to there being so many different specialist areas and such rapid technological change in the field, there is a consistent demand for materials engineers.
Once you have built up experience, it is possible to move into general management roles (within laboratories or in the wider organisation) or to develop a technical specialist area.
Progression to management will depend on the size and scope of the employing company; for example, a small but highly specialist biomedical laboratory cannot offer the management career potential available within a global oil and gas company.
You are likely to play a significant role in finding more energy-efficient and less polluting and waste-generating, products and processes. This particular aspect of the role may further increase promotion prospects within many organisations.
You can focus your career in a particular direction depending on your interests. For example, you could decide to be based in the laboratory working on research and development, or you may want to concentrate on the production and processing side.
With significant experience you could set up your own consultancy or small specialist practice, or you could find work as a contractor for various different organisations and projects.
