[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Here’s a list of all engineering jobs we could possibly think of. And no, this list doesn’t just stop at ‘engineer’. There’s hundreds of careers that engineering students can aspire to, and we probably haven’t even listed all of them yet.
You can use these job titles as keyword searches on employment websites, or simply to get a better idea of the jobs that engineering degrees could prepare you for.
You might notice a lot of overlap. That’s because you’re not limited to the careers listed under each engineering discipline. Every engineering degree teaches you essential elements of engineering that come in handy for just about any engineering job.
If you’re unsure about which career you’d like to pursue, you can study a more general engineering degree and choose your specialisation after you’ve experienced more specific majors (or minors).
Aerospace engineering and aeronautical engineering
If it flies, travels or sails, chances are there’s an aerospace engineer or aeronautical engineer behind it. This list will give you an idea of all engineering jobs you could possibly land after studying aerospace or aeronautics.

Chemical engineering
Chemical engineers are experts in the intersection of chemistry, maths and physics. Using that stellar know-how, they can work in everything from energy, to food production, medicine or industrial chemicals. Take a look below to see all engineering jobs that fall under chemical engineering.

Civil engineering
Not to be mistaken with the humble tradie, civil engineers are everything from surveyors, to architects, planners, designers and implementers. Everything that’s built in the public (or sometimes privately-owned) domain is the responsibility of a civil engineer.

Electrical engineering
If it’s got a power source, it’s a task for the electrical engineer. Think: computers, telephone lines, power and energy, lighting, radars and navigation systems. A certified electrical engineer can aspire to become anything, from a cybersecurity specialist to robotics engineer!

Mechanical engineering
Mechanical engineers have the most similarities to an electrical engineer and a civil engineer, so often a degree in any of these disciplines will get your foot in the door to these careers. Specialise in mechanical engineering if you like to design, build or maintain machines – it’s a mechanical engineer’s bread and butter!
