Chemical technologist

chem techs) are workers who provide technical support or services in chemical-related fields.

Chemical technologists are more likely than technicians to participate in the actual design of experiments, and may be involved in the interpretation of experimental data.

Occasionally, a company may be willing to provide a high school graduate with training to become a chemical technician, but more often, a two-year degree will be required.

Companies within these industries can be concerned with manufacturing, research and development (R&D), consulting, quality control, and a variety of other areas.

They may typically assist in setting up and conducting chemical experiments, and may operate lab equipment under supervision.
