Their work is the link between scientific discoveries and the commercial applications that meet our business and society\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n<p>Engineering is an occupation with extremely wide reach. The term &#8216;engineering&#8217; covers many fields. In the naval shipbuilding industry there\u2019s going to be huge demand in the coming years for engineers specialising in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Software Engineers<\/li>\n<li>Mechanical Engineers<\/li>\n<li>Electrical Engineers<\/li>\n<li>Electronic Engineers<\/li>\n<li>Naval Architects<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.navalshipbuildingcollege.com.au\/career-jobs-quality-roles\/\">Click here<\/a> to learn more about what each of these roles do!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who is suited to being an engineer?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Engineers are scientists, inventors, designers, builders and great thinkers.
