Biochemical Engineers

Biochemical engineers with several years of experience may advance to become senior biochemical engineers. Advancement may also be in the form of being assigned more complex projects. As they gain more experience, they may be responsible for managing larger teams of engineers and related staff members. Those who hold a bachelor's degree advance by getting a master's degree, which often leads to more job opportunities with higher salaries. They may get a doctoral degree for teaching positions and senior-level administrative jobs. Some biochemical engineers advance by becoming consultants and running their own business.
