Areas of Responsibility

Trained chemical technicians are primarily employed in the chemical industry, but may also find work at nuclear and hydroelectric power stations. The range of tasks is extremely varied and covers everything from the manufacture of chemical products at large-scale chemical plants to smaller maintenance measures for manufacturing facilities.

Chemical technicians at Baerlocher are responsible for operating and managing manufacturing facilities, using for instance a process management system. Quality monitoring and assurance is important here. In addition, they supply systems with raw materials, monitor the production process and record minute books. Chemical technicians are also responsible for starting and shutting down, servicing and cleaning the technical systems, some of which are enormous. Their work also includes activities in the control room and at the control terminals.

The skills acquired with a chemical technician qualification also prepare you for careers in related fields, for example as a pharmaceutical technician or lab assistant, or in brewing.
