In all cases your work would be more than analytical. From the start, you will be assigned important work often reserved for senior chemists at other companies. You would work on a multidisciplinary team but be largely responsible for your own projects. Chemists at Celanese Chemicals become authorities on reaction and purification chemistry as well as analytical methods associated with commercial process and operations. You might work with a customer to provide product development and applications testing to meet specific needs.
Environmental Chemists monitor emissions and help prevent and resolve environmental issues.
Starting chemists are typically assigned a mentor. You'll also find co-workers ready to help. You are encouraged to participate in training activities throughout your career. Meet Joe Duff, Chemist from Iowa State University. Chemist II Joe is in charge of butanol and propanol production.
