MISS MATÉRIAUX & CO IN SEARCH OF PROFESSIONAL LIFE 11/12/2017 Which professions with a specialization in materials and how to adapt your CV? Ola! There is a world between training and the world of work! If it isn't obvious, just say "I'm an engineer" (or I'm a "technician") three times in your mouth. That's it? Good and your interlocutor will not know more about your job. The question is, what do you do with your degree, with your training? Training is a baggage, but what exactly is the job? Technique A priori, the simplest and most concrete profession would be that of technique. Like at school: I do calculations, design, draw (but not as much). The difference being autonomy and greater decision making (as well as payroll). This is a great career start-up position. The name of these trades? It varies. According to the sectors, according to the size of the company. You will therefore be a study engineer (for design office), design engineer, development engineer, product engineer, R&D engineer, component engineer as well as all the details specific to the field or the company. It is this title that you will have to put on your adaptable CV if you apply, the better to "talk" to a recruiter. Be careful, however, in search engines, whether it is you or the recruiters, study engineer, development or component can mislead and lead to IT professions ... A small structure will require greater versatility, creativity and also a good understanding with the team in place (a common state of mind) so go to the center of interests section. A large structure will require expertise or at least experience in a similar structure preferably, a solid linguistic background (abroad and language certificates), and a plus teamwork and management and management. Indeed, most basic tasks can also be outsourced or done by technician colleagues, you have to know how to integrate the fact of being a little less technical but in the collective work. The interface with customers and suppliers is often both rewarding but also a source of challenge. For positions in front of a computer / a station dedicated to technical drawing, we will speak of designer, BE technician, CAD designer. Even more advanced in the technique, the research. The nose to the future and innovation, in business, technological watch, participating in trade fairs, it is of course the research engineer . Sometimes also called R&D too, according to the house name. The chances of getting the job? A very solid technical background, a doctorate why not and subjects of study and of interest directly related to the requested theme. Highlight your specializations, your choices during your internships, your project options (end of studies or not): bio-sourced plastics, specific surface treatments, composites (what type), biomedical, food, nanotechnologies, nuclear , textile ... Precision! Curiosity required! More concrete but internally oriented? There is the laboratory, even the factory that needs your skills. Process engineer, production engineer for people comfortable with manufacturing, management and concrete problems. Good composure, responsiveness, pragmatism and good practices are necessary. Laboratory engineer, analytical engineer for those who are meticulous and want to be on the technical side internally. We approach the heart of the matter, we are in control. Related trades A company is full of trades which require technical knowledge combined with human qualities. The quality sector, for example. The quality engineeris concerned with the proper monitoring of procedures (and there are many) in the manufacturing process (factory or process quality) or control (quality methods) but also the organization of the company (central quality / system), whether at a technical level internally (development quality) or externally technical (supplier quality). Rigor, follow-up, precision, understanding of the issues, firmness and monitoring of deadlines. It is learned in a professional context, so nothing prevents access with a "technical" diploma. Setting up indicators (and monitoring them!), Training and evaluating are also tasks of the quality specialist! Shopping! Buyer in large companies, technical salesin the smallest. It is a question of knowing what the company buys (and therefore does not manufacture), to evaluate and to negotiate with the suppliers (of raw materials - steel, plastics, resins etc - or finished products) for the purchaser and with the customers. for the commercial . A good overview of the product is necessary, a technical background is a real plus to negotiate of course! More generalist: After a few years or at the start depending on your temperament, you can be a project manager , a product manager. Always know your product but have even more perspective and an overview of the project or product. No more calculations and in-depth technique, it's time for management, a team, the organization of resources, planning which can prove to be complex, negotiation with the customer, suppliers, internal contacts ... people are needed, good self-confidence, an optimist is advised as well as knowing how to communicate - that is to say to transmit and collect information at the right time and to the right people. Leadership is essential! Here is the list of key words "profession", for research but also for CVs! I would also advise to read well the announcements on which one can come across, for the details of the trades and the tasks which inevitably vary, from one company to another according to the way in which it is structured and from one sector to another!
