Biofuels Processing Technicians

Employment Prospects

Employers

Biofuels processing technicians work in energy and manufacturing companies throughout the United States, but more jobs are available in certain areas of the country where more biofuels processing plants are located. Many ethanol production facilities, for example, are based in Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Indiana.

Starting Out

Some biofuels processing technicians get their start through apprenticeships, gaining knowledge and skills while on the job. Part-time and summer jobs in bioenergy and biofuels companies provide opportunities to learn more about the field. Many technicians find work by visiting the career sections of the Web sites of energy and manufacturing plants. They may also find job listings through the Clean Energy Jobs section of the U.S. Department of Energy's Web site, https://www.energy.gov/eere/education/eere-stem-and-education.
