Jobs Outlook

  • Safety is a high priority in chemical and nuclear-based industries, and hygiene is critical in food and drink production and water treatment. In certain circumstances, you'll need to wear safety or protective clothing.
  • Men and women in the early career category earn the same amount, but the gap widens from age 25 onwards. The largest gap is in the 45 to 49 age band.
  • Work may take place in a lab, office or processing plant. Development work may progress from lab to plant or construction site.
